Seventeen-year-old Bailey is less than thrilled to find an old acquaintance, Charlie, among her coworkers at a hotel waterpark. Their previous encounter during a long flight to Omaha, after her parents’ divorce, left her annoyed by his cynicism and commentary. Despite their differences, Bailey begins to enjoy their time together, gossiping about guests and coworkers, especially a couple who keep flirting. They make a bet on whether the pair will get together, with Charlie claiming that opposite-sex friendships are impossible, while Bailey is determined to prove him wrong. As they track the romantic developments around them, Charlie struggles to suppress his growing feelings for Bailey, fearing that revealing his crush could jeopardize their friendship. To complicate matters, they engage in a “fake dating” scenario to disrupt the awkwardness between Bailey’s mom and her new boyfriend. As Bailey starts to see Charlie as more than just a friend, her feelings deepen, making her heart race. However, Charlie harbors a secret involving Bailey that could threaten their budding relationship. Will they be able to navigate their feelings and Charlie's secret, or is their chance at romance doomed before it even begins?
