Caroline Reynolds finds herself juggling marathon work days at her interior design firm while her boss enjoys an extended honeymoon. She's leading the renovation of a stunning historic hotel, but her photographer boyfriend Simon Parker keeps jetting off on assignments around the globe. Their relationship runs on passionate reunions and long separations until Simon visits his childhood home back east. The trip sparks questions about his wandering lifestyle. He decides he wants to stay home more and expects Caroline to do the same. While house-sitting in Sausalito, they play at domestic life, but the reality proves more complicated than the fantasy. Their friends provide entertaining romantic drama, yet Caroline and Simon must face their own fundamental questions. Can their relationship survive if Simon trades his globe-trotting career for something more settled? Does building a life together mean abandoning the work that drives Caroline? The couple discovers that finding the right balance between independence and intimacy requires more than great chemistry.
