Synopsis

Indiana Jones meets Around the World in 80 Days in this fantastical romcom! Dylan was traumatized by his parents’ disappearance as a child and now keeps his life safe, working at an insurance company and living with his aunt.  But then he meets Chris, a woman who yearns for adventure after a closeted life.  She’s convinced magic is real and what remains of it can be found at the world’s most remote places, the Poles of Inaccessibility.  Fate intervenes, and Dylan must circle the globe with Chris on an epic journey filled with danger, discovery, comedy and more.
