about the project and casting

Daphne cherished the way her fiancé Peter narrated their love story—how they encountered each other on a blustery day, fell in love over an errant hat, and resettled in his lakeside hometown. However, his storytelling prowess crumbled when he realized his heart belonged to his childhood best friend Petra.

Thus, Daphne’s new chapter unfolded in Waning Bay, Michigan, devoid of familiar faces but graced with her childhood dream job as a children’s librarian. Struggling to make ends meet, she proposed rooming with the only person who might empathize: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak.

Miles, a disheveled soul with a penchant for heartbreak anthems, stood in stark contrast to the pragmatic Daphne. As they cautiously forged a friendship, their plan to fabricate a close bond through misleading photos of their summer escapades took shape, offering solace amid their individual turmoil.
