The Heart Principle

Ever since concert violinist Anna Sun went viral on social media and became an overnight star, she’s been musically stuck and is unable to play past a particularly difficult section in a piece of music written specially for her. Anna’s relationship is also stuck, until her boyfriend tells her he wants an open relationship. Anna is shocked but decides to try out a hookup app, looking for one-night stands only, no feelings. When Quan Diep, the recently cancer-free and newly minted CEO of an up-and-coming fashion company, responds to Anna’s profile, they fail to keep to their agreed-upon one night. Instead, their steady stream of text messages, late-night documentary screenings, and motorcycle rides slowly build a real partnership. When Anna’s father suffers a sudden, devastating stroke, she’s compelled to take on his care; this, combined with her professional stasis and recent autism diagnosis, makes Anna unsure whether she has the bandwidth to find happiness in a monogamous relationship with Quan.
