The scene opens with young Adam and Emma sitting by themselves.
They are in a summer camp and they meet here for the first time.
Adam mentions that his parents are getting divorce and seeks comfort which Emma gladly
offers.
Ten years have passed, and Emma is at a party.
She looks misplaced as she anxiously walks in the crowd, looking for her friend.
Her eyes land on a guy who has no care of his surroundings as he jumps up and down,
trying to impress girls around him.
He is Adam.
She smiles and just then her friend comes out.
Emma is overdressed for the party and her friend tells her to get rid of the excess
clothes.
Her friend becomes her mentor and tells her how to party.
She stands on a table and riles the crowd up.
Adam notices Emma beside her friend and recognizes her, but doesn’t know from where.
Their eyes meet and they walk towards each other.
As soon as they come closer, Emma recognizes him almost immediately.
Adam too remembers her.
This is the first time they have met after that day in summer camp.
He asks what is she doing here as he has never seen her here before, and she tells him that
this is her hometown.
They talk some more, and Adam feels attached to her for no apparent reason.
Suddenly she asks him to accompany her somewhere, but doesn’t tell where.
He agrees, thinking that it might be fun, but he is dumbfounded when she takes him to
her father’s funeral.
Everyone is wearing black, whereas he stands there with a bright yellow hoodie sticking
out like a sore thumb.
There she introduces him to his mother and mentions they had a thing when they were fourteen.
Her mother doesn’t inquire further, and he doesn’t say much after.
Adam is leaving, and Emma comes to see him off.
Adam plans to keep in touch with her, but she knows she’ll only bring him sadness
and nothing more.
She walks off, glad that he stayed but is planning to never see him again.
This time three years have passed.
They are at a festival when Emma sees him again.
Emma is with her friend Patrice while Adam is with Eli.
She works as a doctor here in the city and is surprised to see him.
Emma smiles brightly at him, but it quickly fades away when she sees a girl with Adam.
Emma assumes she’s his girlfriend, and cannot help but feel a tinge of jealousy in her chest.
She puts her feelings aside and greets her warmly.
Adam mentions he hasn’t seen her since the funeral, which is depressing yet humorous.
Before leaving, he takes her number, hoping to keep in contact with her.
They are attracted to each other, yet their feelings remain unexplained.
We are in the present now and Adam never contacted her again.
Adam works on a movie set just like his father.
His father is a big movie star and Adam wishes to be on his level someday.
He asks his colleague Lucy for a leave to see his father, and she gladly grants him
his wish as she too happens to be his fan.
This annoys Adam, but he doesn’t say much and leaves silently.
His father Phillip is extremely successful and livs in an enormous mansion.
Though old, he is still young at heart.
He asks Adam to punch him as hard as he can, but he refuses, considering he is old and
Adam might hurt him more than he intends to.
Phillip, at first, is persistent but then understands his point and instead offers him
to smoke with him.
Phillip congratulates him for writing on a show, but Adam reveals he is only an assistant.
He has written an episode and asks his father for an opinion.
Phillip offers to call some agency and get him a big role, but he refuses.
He wants to be successful on his own and doesn’t want any favors from anyone, even if it is
from his own father.
His father not only gives an opinion on his writing but also on his love life.
He is an expert in that field too.
Suddenly, a dog comes running in and chasing him is Adam’s ex-girlfriend.
He cannot believe his eyes and looks towards his father for an explanation.
It turns out that he has been dating her since Christmas.
Adam, fuming with anger, punches him in the gut and, in the process, hurts his own hand.
Phillip tries to reason with him but Adam doesn’t stay any longer and leaves.
Adam is heartbroken, and his friends try to console him.
Their friend Wallace, who also works as a bartender, wonders why she left him for his
old pops.
Adam feels worse when he realizes he is not only behind his father in terms of career
but also in his love life.
He makes a drunken decision to call every girl on his contact list until one of them
agrees to see him.
His friends toast to that and have his back, even if it's the worst decision of his life.
So, it begins.
He calls every girl while his friends cast him sympathetic glances.
That’s all they can offer, and that’s all they do.
Next day Adam wakes up on a couch of some stranger, whose name he doesn't even remember.
She introduces herself as Shira.
He doesn’t have his clothes and thinks he spent his night with her.
Right at that moment, a guy comes in who is holding his shirt.
Now he feels more dread when he thinks he might be the one he was with.
Patrice comes out, and he takes a sigh of relief when he sees a familiar face.
But she too gives him a scare when she mentions she was the one he was with last night.
It’s all circus in here and with each minute that passes by, his heart rate becomes faster
and faster.
Finally, Emma comes out of her room.
He sits up straight when he sees her and is confused about what is going on here.
Emma laughs and eventually tells him he slept with no one and remains untouched.
They have been teasing him, but Emma becomes his savior and asks him to follow.
He shyly stands up and leaves, but not before getting compliments from Emma’s friends.
He asks her how he ended up here and she reveals he was the one who called her.
Adam came to her house and took off his clothes, thinking it's his house.
He mentally blames himself for drinking so much that he doesn’t even remember a thing
from last night.
Adam further feels humiliated when Emma tells him he not only took his clothes off but also
danced like a lunatic.
He tells Emma that all this happened because of his father, but Emma knows this story too,
as Adam himself told her before dozing off.
He asks if he looked charming or funny and Emma laughs.
She not only found him charming, but was also amusing.
Adam feels better knowing that at least she doesn’t think of him as some creep.
He sits at the edge of her bed and looks down with a saddened gaze.
His father’s betrayal has hurt him deeply, and he is a complete mess.
Emma sits beside him and offers him comfort.
It’s just like fifteen years ago, but this time they take things further.
Against their better judgement, they get intimate.
They promise not to tell anyone about this and pretend as if nothing happened between
them.
Adam is sitting outside a café and calls Emma.
He is leaving her a voice note asking her to meet again when, surprisingly, he sees
her walking towards the same restaurant he is at.
They see each other and she walks up to him.
Emma is with one of her colleagues and introduces them.
Her behaviour differs from before.
She appears to be in a rush and tries to leave as soon as possible.
Before she goes, Adam stops her and compliments her looks.
To his dismay, she only smiles awkwardly and walks inside without replying.
Eli watches this encounter closely.
He asks him what happened, and he tells her.
His friend feels happy for him, but when Adam tells him she hasn’t texted him, he is disappointed.
Eli, without sugar coating anything, straight up tells him she is not into him.
He should move on and start looking for another.
Eli thinks she is probably dating the guy she came with.
Emma is sitting in the hospital’s cafeteria along with her friends when Adam shows up
out of nowhere.
He is holding a balloon with congrats written on it and looks for her.
She feels embarrassed and takes him to the side.
He is here because she hasn’t replied to his text and wants to talk with her, but it’s
clear she doesn’t want to.
Emma explains to him she isn’t good at relationships and doesn’t want him to get hurt.
He feels rejected but doesn’t show and is still happy about being friends with her.
Patrice knows Emma’s all excuses and thinks she should date Adam.
She feels like he is a perfect match for her, but Emma doesn’t agree.
She always finds faults in the guys who even dare to harbour some feelings for her.
Emma fears falling in love as it always ends in a heartbreak.
Although she doesn’t want to, she cannot help but feel a pull towards him.
Her actions don’t match her words as she takes out her phone and texts him.
Adam is walking along with Eli, who scolds him for giving her a balloon.
They walk into the bar where Wallace comes and ask Adam about the balloon.
Adam looks towards Eli, whom he had strictly told to keep this a secret.
Again, he tells Wallace not to tell anyone and right on cue, another girl comes and asks
him about the balloon.
Adam is helpless as he furiously stares at his friends for their utmost treachery.
Adam receives the text from Emma asking to meet him at his house.
His friends suggest he should ignore her, but he doesn’t take up their advice.
She suggests meeting at his house and he agrees.
There they get intimate and once they are done, he tries to cuddle, but she suddenly
pulls away.
Emma tells him she is always busy and relationships never work for her.
She doesn’t enjoy committing to someone and only wants to focus on herself.
At that moment, Emma gets an idea.
She proposes why don’t they do this more often but their relationship will be purely
physical, with no strings attached.
There will be no jealousy, no commitment, and no heartbreak.
Both of them will get what they want without getting hurt.
He agrees but challenges her that she will fall in love with him.
Emma doesn’t think so and tells him that if any of them start to feel some emotions,
the deal will end there.
Adam agrees, and she drives away.
Adam tells the guy walking with his dog that they are only friends and will remain that
way, but he just shrugs off, as he knows one of them is bound to fall in love.
And then it starts.
They are always a call away from each other.
Name a place and they will be there.
Everyone knows about them and thinks they are dating, but they are unaware of their
arrangements.
Emma sets some ground rules and forbids him from getting jealous, looking each other in
eyes or forming any form of feelings.
He agrees with the conditions, and they continue.
Emma and Adam, along with their friends, are on a picnic.
Patrice sends Eli a friend request, and it turns out that they like each other.
Adam sees Emma talking with the same guy he met earlier.
His name is Sam.
Adam texts her jokingly that his hands are smaller than average and that makes Emma think
he might be jealous of the guy.
This concerns her as she doesn’t want any feelings to intervene in their perfectly well
managed arrangement.
They go on a walk where she discusses this concern of hers.
She reminds him she is not his and he shouldn’t feel jealous of him.
Adam shrugs off and says that he knows.
Later he is helping Sam to load some things in his car and compliments it.
Sam takes a dig at him, saying that at least he has earned it through his own money.
He is trying to embarrass him, as he, too, has romantic feelings for Emma.
This angers Adam and rightly so.
He has never asked his father for anything and everything that he owns; he has earned
through his own hard work.
Sam informs Adam that he plans to marry Emma.
He boasts about how he is a better man than him.
He has the job that actually counts.
Sam knows about Adam’s and Emma’s arrangement and he is fine with it, but he is sure that
when the time comes, Emma is going to choose him over Adam.
He is better suited for being a husband, whereas Adam is the guy she only calls for pleasure.
Adam is hurt, but he stays quiet because of Emma.
Adam comes home and Eli is lying on the sofa, observing his feet.
He gives him the episode that he had given his father to get his opinion on.
Adam looks over the notes his father has written.
Meanwhile, Eli in the background keeps on ranting that his father loves him and also
loves Eli.
Next day he tries to show it to the director, but she rejects it saying it’s not his Job.
Lucy instead takes it, saying she’ll talk to the boss about it.
Emma is in hospital when her sister Katie comes running up to her.
She excitedly shows her the engagement ring and jumps up and down.
She announces she is getting married, but Emma doesn’t feel good about it.
Later, when they are having a conversation outside, Katie tells her that not only her,
their mom is also in a relationship.
She never knew this and wonders why they’ve kept it from her.
Katie answers honestly that Emma doesn’t get involved in the family, and they haven’t
been close in a long time.
Emma, along with her friends in her apartment, is grieving the engagement of his sister.
She is a wonderful sister but cannot help but feel bitter about it.
She doesn’t understand the concept of love, and doesn't know how to feel about it.
Adam rings the bell and all of them wonder why he is here.
At first, they don’t allow him in, but when he mentions he has cupcakes, they happily
let him in.
The atmosphere inside is as if someone has passed away.
He is there to comfort them during this misery.
He gives her company all night and doesn't leave her alone, even for a second.
Next day when they wake up, Emma thinks they should stop as it's becoming less physical
and more emotional.
She is scared that if this keeps happening, someone might fall in love.
She suggests he should probably go see someone else.
Adam feels hurt and betrayed.
Emma says she’ll do the same.
He leaves disappointed.
Two weeks later, he tells his friend about what has happened.
They cannot believe that he isn’t happy about his relationship.
They advise him that women come and go.
This is his luckiest time right now.
When he marries someone else, he’ll look back at this time and wish that he can come
back.
Adam knows and understands this, but cannot explain his need to be with her all the time.
Emma also tells Shira the same thing, and Shira convinces her to have a girls' night
out.
They are at the party, and there Emma sees her senior doctor and despite Shira telling
her no; she goes up to him and starts the conversation.
Adam goes out with one of his friends and there he meets some girls.
One of them does an impersonation of Nemo, and Wallace guesses it correctly.
The other girl tells her she loves her and it turns out that they are actually in love
with each other.
Before Adam thought he might get lucky tonight, but this revelation ruins all his plans.
Wallace takes their picture and sends it to Emma.
Out of context, it looks as if both of girls are cuddling with Adam.
Sam comes to talk with Emma, but she cuts him off and tells him to come with her.
He has been waiting for this moment his entire life and quickly agrees.
Emma looks over to friend Patrice, who is dancing with Eli, and feels alone and single.
Emma is jealous, but she doesn’t even understand her own feelings.
She is drunk at this point and picks up a call from her sister, thinking it’s Adam.
She is hurt and begs not to sleep with any of them, but her sister cuts her off.
Emma is surprised and clears her throat before talking again.
Katie asks if she is coming, but Adam calls her in between.
He informs her he is following her orders like a straight order and she should be proud
of him, but she isn’t.
Instead, when she hears the voices of the girls in the background, she sprints outside
and gets into the Taxi.
Sam is still gathering his things, but when he comes back, Emma is nowhere to be found.
Adam tries to join the ladies, but they push him away.
He hears Emma’s voice outside and deliberately messes himself up.
He looks disheveled as he comes out and she suspiciously looks at him.
Both of the girls come out to see who it is and Emma is ready to fight both of them.
She runs inside and closes the doors behind, asking them to leave.
Emma calls them Pumpkins as she chases them out with a glass.
Both of them run for their lives and Adam takes Emma inside.
Adam wonders if she is jealous, but she doesn’t give him a straight answer.
She just tells him to never disappear on her even if she tells him to, and they get intimate
after that.
Next day at his office, Lucy has arranged a surprise birthday party for him.
They wish him happy birthday and then everyone moves away, revealing his father.
He is sitting at the piano and sings for him.
His father has written this song only for him and everyone sings along.
He blows the candles and people cheer and clap for him.
His father asks if he has forgiven him, but Adam still holds a grudge against him.
To win him over, he invites him for a dinner and promises to make it up to him.
He is also bringing Venessa, his ex-girlfriend and his father’s current girlfriend.
Phillip’s fans surround him asking for pictures and when Adam sees this, he gets angry.
He wishes he can get the same fame his father has but through his own skills and abilities.
He punches through a wall and hurts his hand in doing so.
Lucy calls for an ambulance and he is taken to a hospital.
When Emma hears this news, she comes running to check up on him.
He texts Emma that he might not make it alive and that scares her.
That’s why she is so anxious, but the doctor tells her it’s a minor injury.
He calls her Adam’s girlfriend, but she quickly corrects him.
He thought this because Adam has listed her as an emergency contact.
One rule she wanted him to follow was to never save each other’s contact as an emergency
contact.
Before leaving, the doctor tells Adam that he is also his father’s fan.
Adam politely replies that he will forward this to him, but from inside wishes nothing
but to forget about his own father.
He begs Emma to help him and come with him to this dinner.
Although she doesn’t want to, she agrees.
At the dinner things are awkward between them.
His father asks them about their relationships.
Emma and Adam both quickly clarify that they are only friends with benefits.
Vanessa suggests Adam should think of her as his mother, even if she was his ex-girlfriend.
They are planning to have a baby together and Adam's anger spiral out of control as
he hits his head on the table.
Emma stops him from hurting himself.
She is feeling out of place during this family drama, but still takes a stand for him.
She tells Adam to leave and before going she informs Venessa that if she was in her place,
she would’ve chosen Adam.
They eat fast food from outside, but still it’s the best birthday dinner Adam ever
had.
He thanks her for having his back and asks her out on a date.
He tells her he’ll bring flowers, hearts and everything she likes and charm his way
into her heart.
Emma thinks about it and then says yes.
Adam cannot believe this and asks her to say it again.
She does, and he jumps happily as he continues to blabber about what he’ll do on their
date.
On Friday, valentine’s day, he is waiting outside the hospital for her.
Adam is wearing his best suit and brings her a bouquet of carrots instead of flowers.
He tells her this is going to be the best day of her life and he is confident in his
abilities to charm her.
She is glad that he is there with her.
He has planned the cutest date as he takes her to play golf.
She does not know what she is doing, but Adam helps her and she has dominated the sport
by the end of the night.
At a café, they share a single milkshake.
Emma put two straws in, hoping to drink more than him.
Adam calls her out but doesn't stop her.
He has fallen head over heels for her and only realizes this when he looks her in the
eyes.
He almost confesses his love for her, but Emma cuts him off quickly.
She diverts his attention, as she doesn’t want him to.
For the rest of the night, Adam keeps smiling as he is in love, but Emma is concerned.
She doesn’t feel happy, as she feels like love will only sabotage their friendship.
She tells him she doesn’t want anyone to care for her.
Love will only hurt her, but this time, Adam speaks up.
He wants to feel something, even if it only hurts.
Overcome with emotions, he confesses his love.
Emma pushes him and tries to hit him.
Adam tells her she can't hurt him even if she tries to.
Whole crowd gathers around to see the commotion.
They think it’s a fight between a couple and find it entertaining.
A guard comes and throws them out, but she continues to fight him.
Adam is emotionally drained and tells her he's never going to see her again.
Her eyes are filled with tears as she gets out of his car.
She refuses to get into a relationship because of all the hurt that it brings, but right
now she is feeling pain that cannot be explained in words.
She walks in hospital and ignores everyone.
Adam comes back home, where Eli and Patrice are having dinner.
He is surprised to see Lucy there, who stopped by from work.
He asks her to come to his room.
There, Lucy tells Adam that she actually really loved his script.
She tells him she sent the script to Megan, their boss, and is now waiting for her response.
Adam is in awe of her.
He needs a company as he just went through a worst heart break he ever had.
He asks her to hang out with him, which takes her by surprise, but she stays.
They spend the night together and actually spend a good time together.
Four weeks have passed, and Emma is still brooding about that day.
She keeps ignoring people and is even losing friends.
Emma is driving the car with her mom in the front seat and her boyfriend in the back.
Her mom keeps worrying about her.
She thinks Emma is way too strong and this will break her one day.
She should not be afraid of failures and getting hurt.
Emma needs to hear this.
It’s the shooting of the episode Adam wrote.
Lucy is successful in her attempts, and Adam has invited all his friends here.
After the play, everyone cheers and claps.
He is standing with his friends when Lucy comes up to him and gives him good news.
Megan has finally hired him as a paid writer.
He is happy as his efforts are finally being paid off.
His friends dreamily look towards Lucy cannot believe that he hasn’t asked her out yet.
They tell him to man up and do the deed as soon as possible.
Emma is at her sister’s wedding and there she finds Katie eating without a pause.
She is overcome with emotions and cannot believe her big day is finally here.
Katie doesn’t expect Emma to understand, but surprisingly, she does.
Emma confesses that she still thinks about Adam.
There may be some things that she doesn’t like about him, but he is still good human
overall.
Upon hearing this, Katie forces Emma to call him.
Megan is heavily drunk and needs to go home.
Lucy left her phone somewhere and borrows Adams’ to call for the taxi.
Adam’s phone rings and it's Emma.
Lucy shows it to Adam and asks if he wants to pick it up.
He is hesitant, but answers it nonetheless.
Emma tells him she misses him and wants to hear his voice, but Adam isn’t here for
it.
He tells her that the only reason she called is because everyone around her is happy and
she isn’t.
They were never a thing to begin with, so she should not feel bad about it.
He cuts the call without listening to what she has to say.
That’s the moment she realizes that she may have lost Adam forever and runs to save
her love.
Lucy goes up to Adam and asks if he is okay.
He thanks her for everything she has done for him and she smiles shyly.
Emma comes to Adam’s house.
She hides in the bush as she sees a car coming.
There she sees Adam and Lucy coming out of the car and going into his house.
She is heartbroken as she sees this and calls Katie.
She advises her to get out of there as soon as possible.
Inside Adam and Lucy try to get intimate, but things are awkward between them.
His phone rings and he goes to pick it up.
On the other side of the phone is Venessa, who informs him that his father is in the
hospital.
He leaves everything behind and rushes there.
Emma is on her way back home crying, listening to sad songs when Shira calls her.
Adam reaches the hospital where Venessa is waiting for him.
She doesn’t care about his health and only wants to get away from there.
She gives the dog, Freckles, to Adam and runs off to the party.
He goes to see his father, who is in the hospital bed.
His father wishes that his mother was here.
He advises him to never let go of his good heart.
Adam cannot control with whom he falls in love with and this is what he needed to hear.
He promises to call his dad in the morning, and that is enough to make his pops smile.
He is walking out of the hospital when Emma calls him.
Adam picks it and tells her that if she is really sorry, she shouldn’t apologize on
the phone but be here in person and right at that moment, she walks up to him.
He sees her and is surprised to see her.
She asks about his father and he tells her he's fine.
Finally, she tells him what she has been dying to say for weeks.
She loves him and confesses her feelings.
She doesn’t care if he doesn’t, but tells him, anyway.
Finally, they are committed and are even ready to get hurt.
They make back to her sister’s wedding on time and he holds her hand.
