Dani Babich had her future mapped out: graduate law school, land a prestigious job, and build a career that proves she’s more than just her Croatian family’s expectations. No distractions, no detours, just success on her own terms. But life, love, and a deeply rooted culture have a funny way of interfering with the best-laid plans.

As she steps into the high-pressure world of corporate law, Dani quickly learns that success isn’t as glamorous as she once imagined. The long hours, the unrelenting demands, and the cutthroat competition begin to wear on her, making her question whether this was really the dream she fought so hard for. Meanwhile, Max, her easygoing musician boyfriend, seems content coasting through life, which only amplifies Dani’s growing doubts about their future together.

Her Croatian family isn’t making things any easier. With every gathering comes another not-so-subtle reminder that she should be settling down, starting a family, and embracing the traditions that have defined generations before her. While her cousin Ana fully embraces the cultural path, Dani isn’t ready to trade in her independence for a predictable life just yet.
