CARAMEL DRIZZLE

CARAMEL DRIZZLE
By Ian Wilson

GENRE: Romance, Comedy
LOGLINE:

An ambitious ad exec and a free-spirited strategist are forced to collaborate on a high-stakes pitch, leading to workplace chaos, romantic sparks, and a cascade of messy mishaps. But with a controlling fiancée, a ruthless boss, and their own misguided inner voices complicating things, they must decide if love is worth the risk.

SYNOPSIS:

The romantic comedy Caramel Drizzle follows John Winters, an ambitious young man engaged to Suzy Urquhart, the strong-willed and domineering daughter of wealthy Scottish ad executive Angus Urquhart. The story begins at John and Suzy’s lavish engagement party, where John feels the weight of Angus’s expectations to prove himself in the business world.

John is soon assigned to lead a high-stakes pitch for Dominique & Leo, a French retailer specializing in sex toys. To his surprise, he’s partnered with Liz Docherty, a creative strategist whose sharp wit and unfiltered approach clash with his buttoned-up professionalism. Their collaboration quickly spirals into a series of humorous and awkward encounters—many involving spilled coffee and sticky caramel drizzle.

As John navigates the pressures of work and his controlling relationship with Suzy, his growing feelings for Liz complicate matters further. Throughout the story, both John and Liz wrestle with the misguided advice of their inner voices—Frank, a shallow yet insecure figure in John's mind, and Alex, a fiercely independent but equally unreliable guide for Liz. These inner voices push them toward poor decisions and self-doubt, adding an extra layer of comedic conflict.

Tensions reach a breaking point when John and Liz share a charged moment, only for Suzy to arrive unexpectedly, shattering the illusion of clarity. Ultimately, John’s breakup with Suzy costs him his job at Angus’s agency, but Dominique recognizes his talent and offers him a position. Liz also secures a role at Dominique, setting the stage for a fresh start.

The story concludes with John and Liz sharing a kiss at a successful launch event—an uncertain but promising beginning to a new chapter in their lives.

Caramel Drizzle explores themes of ambition, love, and the hilarity of self-sabotage, proving that sometimes, the sweetest moments arise from the messiest situations.
