Two corporate rivals, Trishara Malik and Rafe Gallagher, unexpectedly find themselves together on a tropical company retreat in Hawaii. Tris, a dedicated engineer, had long aspired to be the first woman of color to break the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but her dreams were dashed when Rafe, the boss's son, received the promotion she deserved. On the brink of burnout, Tris is surprised to be chosen for the retreat, seeing it as an opportunity to revitalize her career and compete for a prestigious executive training program. However, their close proximity on the island challenges their assumptions and could potentially lead to an unexpected romantic connection.
