Anna Gardner, an exchange student from Britain, arrives in sunny Los Angeles to attend college. Here, she meets Jacob Helm, an American classmate, and they quickly develop a deep romantic connection as they navigate their college lives together.

After their graduation, Anna decides to spend the summer with Jacob instead of returning home to the UK. This decision sets the stage for a series of complications stemming from her soon-to-expire student visa.

While visiting London for a family commitment, Anna tries to return to the U.S. but is detained by immigration officials. Shockingly, she is sent straight back to the U.K., facing an unexpected separation from Jacob.

Anna desperately struggles against the immigration ruling that has landed her with a ban from entering the United States. Despite her relentless attempts, she feels the emotional toll of being away from Jacob.

In a bold show of love, Jacob sacrifices his growing design business to visit Anna in London. During this visit, he learns about Anna's parents' efforts to lift the immigration ban via legal channels.

Jacob discovers that Anna's parents are considering marriage as a possible solution to her ban. While this proposal strains their relationship, Jacob wrestles with the implications, considering his commitment to Anna.

As time passes, Jacob begins a new relationship with Samantha, who harbors feelings for him, while Anna takes a job as a magazine secretary. Despite attempts to move on, both struggle with their lingering love for each other.

In a moment of chaotic irony, Jacob calls out for 'Anna' while speaking to Samantha, revealing how intertwined their lives remain. This incident starkly highlights the emotional connection they still share despite the distance.

During a heartfelt phone call from London, Anna and Jacob confront their enduring feelings for one another. This moment prompts them to consider marrying, realizing they cannot find the same connection with anyone else.

Anna and Jacob have a small but meaningful wedding ceremony in front of her parents, solidifying their commitment to protect their love. They exchange vows, despite the uncertainty of Anna's immigration status.

After Jacob returns to Los Angeles, the couple faces the challenge of waiting for the resolution of Anna's visa ban. This uncertainty creates strain on their relationship as the distance and frustration grow.

Jacob returns to the U.K. for their appeal, but they are met with disappointment as the ban is upheld. This setback exacerbates their relationship tensions, pushing Jacob to rekindle his romance with Samantha.

While navigating her feelings, Anna achieves a significant career milestone by receiving a promotion to editor at her magazine. However, she wrestles with the realization that her feelings for Simon do not compare to her love for Jacob.

Anna invites her parents to dinner with Simon, hoping for a favorable evening. However, the night takes an unexpected turn when Simon proposes, and Anna turns him down, realizing her heart still belongs to Jacob.

Anna makes the bold decision to leave behind her job, relationship, and apartment to reunite with Jacob. Their emotional reunion at the airport, filled with awkwardness, marks the beginning of a new chapter for them both.
