The chemistry of code
Nineteen-year-old Layla arrived in Montreal looking for a fresh start and a predictable formula for her life. Instead, she found herself caught in a volatile reaction between two former best friends who haven't spoken in years.
On one side is Liam: the "perfect" student with the gentle smile and a future that looks as bright as a summer in Thailand. But beneath his polished exterior, Liam is hiding a "broken code", secrets that make him vanish for days and leave Layla questioning if she ever knew him at all.On the other side is Jade: the brooding neighbor with smoky eyes and a reputation for trouble. He’s the "bad variable" Layla was warned to stay away from, yet he’s the only one showing up when things fall apart.To earn her ticket to a dream internship in Thailand, Layla takes a grueling shift at the local Tim Hortons, only to realize the hardest work isn't the job, it's choosing between the boy who promises the world and the boy who’s actually standing right in front of her. When the past and present collide at a shared lake, Layla must decide: Is she following the logic of her head, or the chemistry of her heart?
