Overview

Johaira and Manuel meet in a Washington Heights club. As they dance to the hypnotic rhythms of Bachata, they can’t help but fall in love. Fast forward eight years to the present where Johaira is tasked with a career defining case, and Manuel is on the verge of a business expansion. With the pressures of familial duties, and their work responsibilities, the pair finds themselves out of sync with each other. As time and expectations wear on, Johaira and Manuel are at a crossroads. When tragedy hits, they are left with the age old question, is love enough?
