Storyline
On her way home for a Christmas proposal, Sophie misses her flight and gets stuck road-tripping with Jake—the ex who ghosted her six years ago. Old heartbreak turns into dangerous chemistry, and one unforgettable night threatens both of their futures when they discover they’re headed to the same family Christmas—with their soon-to-be fiancés waiting inside.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | SOPHIE BENNETT | Female 25 - 29 Years old |
Description LEAD, $700 USD Per day (6 estimated days of shoot). 12 hoursFemale Lead, Late 20s, corporate careerist (aspiring/incoming CEO of Aurelia Biotech) Striking, stylish, and practical, though frequently disheveled by chaotic holiday travel mishaps. Dresses in corporate attire or cozy winter wear, but ends up in mismatched outfits, an oversized Christmas sweater, and an ill-fated towel along the way. Feisty, short-tempered, and highly reactive, yet fiercely protective of her heart. She masks past trauma and heartbreak with a sharp tongue, physical aggression, and hyper-ambition, attempting to force herself into a neat, perfect life to gain security. Objective: 1) Reach La La Land to spend Christmas with Ethan and get proposed to; 2) Maintain the polished facade of being a Christmas-loving, perfect girlfriend to Ethan and his family; 3) Resist her unresolved feelings for Jake while hiding their shared history. Character Arc: At the beginning, Sophie is running away from her true emotions—suppressing her hatred of Christmas and holding onto Ethan for security and professional ambition. As she spends forced time with Jake, her rigid emotional walls crumble, leading her from denial and rage back to raw vulnerability and authentic love. | ||

| Lead | JAKE CALLAHAN | Male 25 - 35 Years old |
Description LEAD, $700 USD Per day (6 estimated days of shoot). 12 hoursMale lead, late 20s to early 30s, billionaire founder and CEO of Callahan Air. Strikingly handsome, tall, and ripped. Keeps a low profile in cap and sunglasses when traveling, but looks effortless in tailored clothes, open shirts, or just a towel. Charismatic, witty, and deeply stoic. He hides profound emotional pain behind playfulness, tasteful bantering, and cool self-restraint. He carries immense guilt for making decisions on behalf of those he loves without giving them a say. Objective: 1) Travel to La La Land to break up with his gold-digging girlfriend, Madison, in person; 2) Win back Sophie after discovering she is back in his life; 3) Keep his past terminal medical diagnosis and secret protective measures hidden until forced to confess. Character Arc: Starts off acting out of self-imposed martyrdom—having abandoned Sophie years ago to spare her pain, only to realize he deprived her of a choice. Over the course of the journey, he moves from passive regret to actively fighting for his true love and owning his past mistakes. | ||

Description SUPPORTING (ANTAGONIST), $400 USD Per day (5 estimated days of shoot). 12 hours.Supporting male, late 20s, son of the Whitmore family, heir to a struggling hospital network. Polished, sharp-suited, and meticulously groomed (especially sensitive about his hair). Shallow, manipulative, and hypocritical. He presents himself as a chivalrous, squeaky-clean partner with traditional values (claiming to save himself for marriage), but is secretly cheating on Sophie and exploiting her position for financial leverage. Objective: 1) Secure the CEO position at Aurelia Biotech for Sophie so she can greenlight a merger with his family's failing hospital network; 2) Get married to fulfill a clause in his father's will to retain control of the hospital; 3) Maintain his secret affair behind Sophie's back. Character Arc: Begins as the seemingly ideal, highly demanded "perfect fiancé" on paper. As the story unfolds, his pristine image deteriorates completely, exposing him as a calculating opportunist using Sophie strictly as a business asset. | ||

Vain, high-maintenance, materialistic, and intensely dramatic. She views relationships through the lens of luxury gifts and financial status, though she harbors deep insecurities about being cheated on or abandoned. Objective: 1) Get a ring and land a proposal from billionaire Jake; 2) Spend as much of Jake's money as possible on luxury items; 3) Catch and expose any rival woman threatening her engagement. Character Arc: Starts as a seemingly oblivious, self-absorbed social climber. As her suspicions grow throughout the family gathering, she morphs into an observant, sharp antagonist who ultimately uncovers Jake and Sophie's secret past. | ||
