Experience love in a different light.

New York City. The city of dreamers. Celebrities, business owners, mafias, writers, and musicians. Anyone can make it here. And that's exactly what they intend to do. Two young lovers with a dream. To follow their own journey and find a new path in life separating from their family legacy. Tackling their inner demons and finding love in themselves. While finding love with each other.

The story mainly follows Esmé Reign, a journalist who feels like an outsider in her family and job, often shrinking herself in others' presence. Her life changes when she meets Adrian Royce, a confident and rising artist who hires her as his personal assistant. As they spend time together, Esmé begins to break free from her insecurities, feeling uniquely cherished by Adrian's attention.

Adrian Royce, the pastor’s son who’s trying to find his own way in the music business and overcome his own battles and trauma with his life. His life begins to glow when she takes his parking spot. Esmé Reign was love at first sight for him and he wanted the world with her. That’s why he chose her as his assistant. But when he sees she’s not as confident as she seems in the workplace, he tries everything in his power to get her to see what he sees.
