Santa Monica Doesn’t Understand Love

Charlotte Morgan, the billion-dollar tech CEO from Beverly Hills, has never believed in love—only results. She's poised to transform downtown Los Angeles with her urban redevelopment empire, one neighborhood at a time. Mateo Durand, a drifting street artist from Marseille, believes love is the only thing worth building. He lives in a converted gallery in Santa Monica, where memory clings to crumbling walls. When Charlotte’s project threatens to evict him and erase the past, sparks fly. She proposes a wager: “Live a day in my world, and let me live a day in yours.” What starts as a game between a woman who controls everything and a man who owns nothing becomes a slow-burning romance—fragile, passionate, and doomed by the very world they inhabit. Can two people on opposite ends of the city—and life—ever meet in the middle?
