What's it all about?
Paige Taylor is a strong, self-made woman whose thriving business leaves little room for a personal life. With no new love on the horizon, memories of her ex, Darren, start bubbling up. But just as quickly as they surface, a text or email pulls her back to work—until a chance run-in with him in Central Park turns her entire world upside down.
What should have been a quick, awkward exchange becomes a raw rehashing of their breakup—and a surprising confession: they still have feelings for each other. There’s just one problem. Okay, three: Darren is married. Unhappily. With kids.
They should walk away. But instead, we watch the messy, hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking reality of what happens when you try to rekindle something you thought you buried. Even his wife gets in on the action.
As Paige navigates the road less traveled, she must ask herself: Was the memory of him better than the man in front of her? Is this a second chance—or just emotional whiplash? And does love conquer all… or just make everything way more complicated?
It’s Still You is a sharp, unexpected romantic comedy that plays with the age-old question: What if?
