By a chance of fate, Eve and Xander sit next to each other on their flight from Chicago. Meanwhile, their significant others, Lexi and Jenna, are in Paris competing for a high-stakes promotion. Alongside Tristan, a flight attendant with his head in the clouds, and Matthieu, a hotel concierge and part-time cynic, the two couples meet and are forced to confront fears, doubts and unavoidable conversations. Will they find themselves — and the love they deserve — before they return home?
ROLE: Xander
