For years, Columbia freshman Serena has dreamed of visiting Paris - the city where her parents had their idyllic, romantic honeymoon. And since her father unexpectedly died two years ago, Serena has cooked up a plan to travel to Paris with her mother and sister as a way to celebrate and remember her dad.

Unfortunately, her mom and sister are less committed to the plan - her mom backs out to attend a conference in London, and her sister makes plans in Madrid after a misunderstanding with Serena. When Serena arrives in Paris, buzzed on espresso and with three-page itinerary in hand, she quickly learns that her family reunion has become a solo mission.

Or has it? Serena finds a sightseeing companion in Jean-Luc, the volatile, passionate French photography student who's recruited to be her host when her sister mixes up their plans. Serena begins checking things off her itinerary, but she's not terribly good at seeing the city. Jean-Luc has a knack for pointing out the things she's missing - and also getting her off schedule. Still, there's something about him she doesn't want to shake. Will sparks fly in the most romantic city in the world? Or will Serena end up sipping champagne on the Eiffel Tower alone?
