Can the silver fox hotelier and young artist close the gap between their decades and learn to paint outside of the lines together? Rory This is my last chance. I’ve got one month to make a living from my art, or I’ve got to join the family business. That’s been the deal since I started college. Sure, I may have extended that deal by getting more degrees related to work. No one had to know I was filling my time with art classes on the side. But now there’s no more extensions. I’ve got to make some real money by the end of this summer or fall in line. Kenji I’m in charge now. My father opened a modest Japanese style inn decades ago, and now that he’s retired I’ve gone all in on every upgrade I could get my hands on to make it the luxury ryokan I’ve always thought it could be. The finishing touch was hiring an artist in town that was as hungry as me to ensure my vision would work. Everything is going according to plan, but I didn’t anticipate how thirsty working with Rory would make me. A decade apart, they’re both still dealing with family expectations that guide their lives. Can they close the gap between their ages and paint outside of the lines together, or will they live in their family shadows forever?
