Emergency Contact

Anna Brewer has a plan for everything. As a high-stakes architect and single mother to nine-year-old Sophie, her life is a masterpiece of precision and control. Chris Morrison, a laid-back sports journalist raising his son Noah, prefers to take life as it comes, one deadline at a time. When a plumbing emergency shutters Brookside Elementary, their worlds collide in the most unexpected way: they discover they are each other's emergency contacts. Forced into a chaotic day of co-parenting, the two opposites must navigate a gauntlet of car breakdowns, medical scares, and high-pressure work crises. Anna finds her perfectionism challenged by Chris's easy charm, while Chris realizes that some things are worth planning for. Amidst the crumbs of a messy minivan and the quiet moments of a shared lunch, a spark ignites that neither of them saw coming. Can a perfectionist and a procrastinator find a rhythm together, or will the pressures of their pasts keep them from a future as a team? Lynn Greene delivers a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about the beautiful messes that happen when life goes off-script.
