"Will has always been a brave explorer, but when it comes to matters of the heart, he's reluctant to take chances. That is until he meets Liz, a self-made writer, at an animal shelter. A mispronounced name causes a fortuitous meeting, and the two immediately click.
Throughout the next decade, they keep running into one other at different social gatherings and become great friends, but they both secretly crave for something more. Despite their initial attraction, both Will and Liz struggle with intimacy due to previous relationships.
They reveal their worries and genuine want to one another after an accidental encounter on a mountainside, which ignites a passionate affair. As their love grows, they go on risky excursions together, such as trekking in the Swiss Alps and visiting Egyptian sites.
Will and Liz learn to deal with the difficulties that come with their relationship despite the disapproval of their friends and family due to their May-December romance. Together, they confront hardships that test their connection, but they come out stronger and more devoted than ever before.
Their narrative is a monument to the power of connection, the thrill of adventure, and the tenacity of the human heart, teaching them both to trust in love once again and to take chances in life.
Will and Liz's relationship serves as a reminder that even the most adventurous explorers may discover the greatest delight in love as their decade-long love story develops, and as they find refuge and comfort in one other's arms, knowing that they are destined to be together."
