Jack and Chris have completed plenty of road trips together around the US, but this one will be different…

Only two days into the trip, a catastrophic disaster strikes America. A deadly virus rapidly spreads across the country.

Trying to play catch up, and work out what is going on, with a hangover, is not an ideal situation for Jack and Chris to find themselves in. America has been placed under quarantine and all flights are grounded.

Decisions need to be made, and squabbled over. Stay in the apartment and wait it out, or drive across an increasingly hazardous country? Jack has to get back to his wife. Chris doesn’t have much choice. He can’t let his friend travel that distance alone.

Follow these two ordinary guys, as they react, panic and fumble their way through what has become a road trip of survival.

He’s the hot owner of a home construction business who wants to build a family.

I’m the Doctor of Obstetrics who wants to deliver anything but.

Can two total opposites learn to play house?

I help couples create the families of their dreams. Which is perfect, since I’ll never have a family of my own.

But then I meet James. Tall and lean, with sun-kissed hair and skin…and those hands. I can’t keep my eyes off his hands.

He’s everything I’m not — too kind, too compelling, and too cute for words. It doesn’t take long before his warm charm is melting my heart.

My world is turned upside down when I find myself named the temporary guardian to a niece I never knew I had. And James is ready and willing to help. Building bunk beds together is easy when he’s used to building houses. (Did I mention his hands?)

When I learn how much he wants to have a family of his own, I remember why a man as good as James should never be with a girl like me.

And Risha, unaware of Arjun’s personal demons, is worried that this dishy tycoon’s unnerving behaviour will jeopardize her biggest photography gig so far.

What follows is a rollercoaster of snarky quips, sizzling chemistry and simmering drama amidst a Big Fat Indian Wedding.
