Julian Lopez, the wealthiest man in the small town of Lake Wisteria, Michigan, is running late to his godson Nico’s recital because he is stuck behind a slow car. He receives a call from his cousin, Rafael, about the recital, hinting that he and his son Nico predicted he wouldn’t make it. Julian mentions how busy he has been since he took over his father’s construction company, Lopez Luxury, so in order to make it to the recital he tries to swerve around the slow car in front of him. However, the car also moves and Julian crashes into it. He practices the calming techniques his late father taught him before going to check on the other driver, whom he notices is crying.

When he gets a good look at the driver, Julian sees it is Dahlia Muñoz, their small town’s sweetheart, his childhood rival, and his former crush. Julian has tried to keep his distance from Dahlia, who reveals she has just come back to Lake Wisteria after living in California, something that surprises Julian. Dahlia called her mother Rosa about the minor accident, who called 911 and sent all the town’s resources to the scene.
