Sometimes the biggest wipeouts lead to the best summer romance.
Ellie came to Venice Beach for one thing: a drama-free summer vacation. Armed with a pair of vintage roller skates and a beach-read state of mind, she’s ready to soak up the sun and leave her real-world stress behind. She definitely didn't plan on becoming a human bowling ball.
Leo is a high-stress, high-stakes commercial producer on the edge of a breakdown. He has a multimillion-dollar retro soda campaign to shoot, a terrifyingly tight deadline, and a zero-tolerance policy for boardwalk chaos. So, when a literal girl-on-wheels crashes directly into him and ruins his most expensive shot, he is entirely unamused.
Ellie thinks Leo is an uptight, caffeine-fueled nightmare who needs to take a serious chill pill. Leo thinks Ellie is a walking disaster area in tube socks.
They are officially enemies. But unfortunately for them, avoiding each other is completely impossible. When Ellie is guilt-tripped into helping out around the set to make up for the damages, the undeniable friction between the laid-back vacationer and the tightly wound producer starts to spark into something else entirely.
As the California temperatures rise, so does the chemistry. But when the commercial wraps and the summer comes to an end, they’ll have to decide if this was just a quick shoot, or a perfectly unscripted lifetime kind of romance.
If you love clean laugh-out-loud banter, sunshine-meets-grumpy vibes, and swoon-worthy summer nights, you’ll fall head over wheels for First Takes & Roller Skates.
