A single day in Paris changes the lives of three Americans as they each set off to explore the city with a French tutor learning about language love and loss as their lives intersect in surprising ways.
Josie Riley and Jeremy have come to the City of Light for different reasons: Josie a young high school teacher arrives in hopes of healing a broken heart. Riley a spirited but lonely expat housewife struggles to feel connected to her husband and her new country. And Jeremy the reserved husband of a renowned actress is accompanying his wife on a film shoot yet he feels distant from her world.
As they meet with their tutors-Josie with Nico a sensitive poet; Riley with Phillippe a shameless flirt; and Jeremy with the consummately beautiful Chantal-each succumbs to unexpected passion and unpredictable adventures. Yet as they traverse Paris's grand boulevards and intimate winding streets they uncover surprising secrets about one another-and come to understand long-buried truths about themselves.
