Management

Mike Flux, the night manager of his parents' motel, lives a solitary life, handling all the tasks by himself. Despite working at the family business, he feels isolated and yearns for connection with others.

Mike's life changes when he meets Sue, a guest at the motel, and develops a crush on her. Attempting to break the ice, Mike surprises her with a bottle of wine, but she finds his approach awkward and asks him to leave.

Returning the next day with champagne, Mike manages to touch Sue's butt after complimenting her. This small moment stirs curiosity in Sue, particularly about Mike's unconventional pick-up lines.

After spending a night apart, Sue returns to Mike for a secret encounter in the laundry room of the motel. This impulsive decision marks a significant shift in Mike's feelings for her.

Driven by his newfound feelings, Mike flies to Baltimore to surprise Sue at her home. Their time together includes a soccer game and a visit to a homeless shelter, highlighting Sue's caring nature.

The morning after Mike's stay in Baltimore, he confesses to Sue that he bought a one-way ticket and has no money. They spend quality time together, deepening their connection, but the reality of their lives hangs over them.

Mike's mother, Trish, falls seriously ill, prompting Mike and Sue to visit her. Trish encourages Mike to seek happiness, warning him that life is short, and that it’s important to pursue meaningful relationships.

After Sue expresses doubts about a long-term future with Mike, Trish passes away. Stricken by grief, Mike resolves to take charge of his life and chase after Sue once more.

Mike learns that Sue has reunited with her ex-boyfriend Jango, prompting him to travel to Aberdeen. Without money, he spends his nights in a local football field while looking for a job.

Finding work at a Chinese restaurant, Mike forms a friendship with Al, the owner's son, who provides him with shelter in the basement. Together they navigate the complexity of Mike's feelings for Sue and her life with Jango.

In a bold move to win Sue back, Mike skydives into her pool as a surprise. However, this stunt backfires when Jango confronts him, resulting in a tense encounter with an air-soft gun.

After a night of dinner at Jango's mansion, Sue sneaks out to dance with Mike and Al, sparking a flirtation that rekindles their chemistry. However, the threat of Jango looms over their budding relationship.

The following day, Sue reveals that she and Jango are getting married that week, and she's pregnant. Torn and devastated, Mike reacts harshly, telling her to leave after all he sacrificed for her attention.

In an attempt to move on, Mike spends four months in a Buddhist monastery, where he reflects on his past decisions. He learns that his heart is still attached to Sue and ultimately chooses to return to the motel.

Back at the motel, which is now run by his father, Mike decides to turn it into a homeless shelter, fulfilling Sue's dream. After discovering that Sue left Jango, he rushes to find her, hoping to rebuild their relationship.

Upon finding Sue, Mike expresses his feelings, vowing to support her and her baby. They embrace, signaling a potential new beginning as they confront the future together.
