OG's personal synopsis
Amelia is reeling from a recent breakup and is moving back into her old apartment complex when she bumps into her new neighbor, Calvin. Calvin is loud, obnoxious and he is rude, Amelia is not a fan. Their back and forth becomes routine after a while and one day the complex loses power and they get a little...closer. This fine, basketball playing neighbor turns out to be more than expected and did I forget to mention that annoying ex of hers that doesn't seem to understand boundaries?!
