College-bound romantic Daniel Bae and Jamaica-born pragmatist Natasha Kingsley meet\u2014and fall for each other\u2014over one magical day amidst the fervor and flurry of New York City.

With just hours left on the clock in what looks to be her last day in the U.S., Natasha is fighting against her family\u2019s deportation as fiercely as she\u2019s fighting her budding feelings for Daniel, who is working just as hard to convince her they are destined to be together.
