Synopsis/Details
JORDAN (20s) is a shy and introverted man stuck in a mundane job that doesn't reflect his intelligence or aspirations. He harbors a long-standing, unrequited love for his stunning co-worker VERONIQUE (30s), who seems light-years out of his league and is engaged to a universally admired man.
When Jordan receives devastating news about an aggressive brain tumor, he decides it's time to break out of his routine and embark on a daring adventure. He creates a bold bucket list, with the most audacious item being to win Veronique's heart, despite her engagement and seeming unattainability.
With a coveted all-expense-paid trip to Hawaii as a lure, Jordan persuades Veronique to accompany him. Reluctantly, she agrees, unaware of Jordan's secret agenda. As they journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Hawaii, Veronique gradually warms to Jordan's earnest attempts to fulfill his list, albeit with skepticism and resistance.
As their time in paradise draws to a close, Jordan has checked off nearly every item on his list except one. He faces a pivotal moment when he reveals his desire to stay in Hawaii and asks Veronique to stay with him, forcing her to confront her true feelings.
In a poignant and uncertain conclusion, Jordan discovers whether his journey has not only changed his life but also touched Veronique's heart in ways he never imagined possible.
