Every seven years, Charlotte's life collides with Hunter's-unexpectedly, inevitably, and always at the wrong time.
It starts in college, when Charlotte moves into her freshman dorm and meets Hunter, the confident, slightly older RA who's supposed to keep everyone in line. He's charming, infuriating, and sees something in Charlotte that even she doesn't fully understand yet. Their connection is instant, but life has a way of pulling them in different directions.
Charlotte follows the path she's supposed to-graduates, settles into a stable relationship with Brian, the dependable man who offers her the kind of life she grew up believing she needed. Meanwhile, she's chasing a dream that doesn't fit neatly into the life she's building. Comedy is where she feels most alive, where she can be messy, unfiltered, and fully herself. But carving out a place for that passion means questioning everything she thought she wanted.
As the years pass, Hunter keeps showing up-sometimes as a fleeting presence, sometimes as a reminder of the life she could have chosen. He represents risk, possibility, and the unknown. With each encounter, Charlotte is forced to ask herself: Is she truly happy, or just comfortable? And can she have both the life she's worked for and the dream she can't let go of?
