The film stars Heartstopper's Sebastian Croft, Bridgerton's Charithra Chandran and Cobra Kai's Tanner Buchanan, and centres around Chandran's character Amelia and Croft's character Archie, who have been best friends since childhood.
The synopsis for the film explains: "Archie has always been there to fight Amelia’s battles and laugh at her jokes all whilst keeping his lifelong love for her a secret.
"Just when he builds up the courage to declare his feelings, Amelia falls head over heels for Billy Walsh (Buchanan), the new American transfer student.
