Heartbroken Archie goes to great lengths to try and keep Amelia and Billy away from each other but ends up pushing them closer together and risks losing his best friend in the process.
The film is directed by Alex Sanjiv Pillai (Bridgerton) from a script by Alexander J. Farrell and Greer Ellison (Making A Killing).
It is produced by Matt Williams (Save The Cinema) with co-producer Neil Jones (The Colour Room) both of Future Artists Entertainment.
