BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Samara is a wedding planner despite the fact that she was actually a really successful lawyer.
Speaking of used-to-be lawyers, we meet Nate in Queensland, Australia. His dad got sick and now he works with his brother on the boat.
Samara is on the phone with an old colleague who is in Australia for a trip. She asks Samara to come to Australia to help plan her parents' anniversary party. She's like I don't have another event for a few weeks….why the heck not.
She gets there and finds the yacht that her friend has for them to use. She is accidentally sprayed by water by Nate and it quickly becomes obvious that they know each other. Her friend, Liv, is like listen Nate is the best captain, you're the best event planner. It just made sense.
It doesn't take long for it to become obvious that Liv is trying to get these two rivals together!
They immediately start to bicker but then they start talking and hanging out. She starts wearing the necklace that he gave her back in the day. The sparks are clearly starting to fly again.
But there's a bit of an issue - she hired some firework company to put a firework show together but they're not getting the plan to Captain Nate. I'm sure it won't be a big deal though.
Nate & Samara go snorkeling and then he tells her he wants to get back into law. But then they get into an argument about how things ended between them at work. They really disagree about a witness that she wanted to put on the stand. But they talk it through and don't let the argument ruin the day!
She decides to use her father's contacts to try to get Nate a new job but the dude she talks to is really only interested in having her work for him. She insists she doesn't do law anymore.
Nate gets a call from that law firm but the person on the phone setting up the interview is confused and basically says crazy how you and Samara are interviewing for the same job. He's mad cuz he was under the impression she didn't want to do law?!
Then he gets a phone call from the fireworks people and he's like CANCEL THE FIREWORKS, GAHHHH! He goes to tell her the fireworks aren't gonna happen.
She finds out about how he's mad that she interviewed for his dream job and she's like dude bro I didn't apply for it, I got him the interview!
His brother is like dude you done goofed. You better fix the fireworks thing.
The happy couple renews their vows. It's nice.
The sun sets and she's beginning to think that the fireworks aren't gonna happen.
Nate shows up with flowers and apologizes and tells her he has an in person interview in Seattle next week. He is willing to break every rule in the book to not lose her and the fireworks start going off! They kiss BIG ONESSSSSSS!
