Eloise is a 24-year-old graphic designer who moved to Hackettstown six months ago for a fresh start after a stagnant job in the city, drawn to the town's quiet charm and close-knit community. On New Year's Eve, she's out celebrating at the downtown party to shake off the loneliness of being new in town, not expecting anything more than festive lights and friendly faces. When her path crosses with Nathan, the vigilant state trooper patrolling the crowd, she feels an unexpected spark—the kind that makes her wonder if this chance encounter could be the connection she's been missing, or if it'll fade like the midnight fireworks.
