'Gnight, Sara / 'Night, Heck'
is the story of Sara Miller, a 24-year-old copywriter at a Manhattan advertising agency, unexpectedly crosses paths with Heck Archibald IV, the 28-year-old heir to the formidable Archibald banking dynasty. This chance encounter in a bustling New York City café weaves their destinies together, creating a unique sanctuary where they can unmask their true selves. While Sara harbors dreams of leaving an indelible imprint on the literary world, she finds herself trapped in a tragicomic dichotomy between her youthful optimism and the stark realities of adulthood, where practical concerns like bill-paying often eclipse grand ambitions. Conversely, despite his inherited wealth, Heck rejects any semblance of corporate life, opting instead for the tranquil existence of being an art restorer. Through shared passions for music, film, TV series, and writing, and despite being entangled in separate serious relationships, Sara and Heck find solace in each other during their regular café meetups over brinner (breakfast for dinner). Their interactions, however, remain confined to this café, void of exchanged phone numbers, social media handles, or addresses. They discuss their dreams in this space, like Sara's aspiration to move to Paris to pen her debut novel. This profound bond prompts them to question whether their current lives align with their envisioned ideals. Heck encouraged Sara to seize the opportunity while it was still an option for her. They didn't realize they had fallen for each other until that painful night when Sara bid her farewell and moved to Paris. In the ensuing months, Sara and Heck navigate their separate yet intertwined paths - Sara in Paris and Heck in New York - each exploring their quests for happiness and dreams. They wander aimlessly, pondering what life might look like if they actually end up with each other. This possibility becomes reality when Heck resolves to seek out Sara in Paris. Their reunion is marked by joyous moments, dancing in the Parisian rain, and exploring the city's enchanting streets. However, the harsh reality of their lives soon intrudes, compelling them to return to New York to tackle the lives they had abandoned. And so they thought.
