Float

Waverly Liu has a clear plan for her future. She intends to start a medical residency in Toronto after a summer with her parents in Taipei. A sudden shift in plans propels her to a small Canadian town instead, where the contrast between high pace and quiet streets feels like a pause button. There she meets Blake Hamilton, a lifeguard with a sunlit confidence and a knack for reading people. After he saves her from a dangerous moment at a beach party, he offers to teach her how to swim. As the lessons unfold, their guarded optimism gives way to a tentative romance that challenges both of them to reassess what they want from life.
