A lonely romance novelist, desperate for a little adventure and a story worth writing, lets herself be kidnapped by a gawky, well-meaning outlaw — and together they turn a bumbling crime spree into a media spectacle, a bestselling myth, and a love story neither saw coming.

SYNOPSIS:

Strange Love follows Billy Reed, a lonely, romance-obsessed New Orleans bank teller whose fantasies of passion and escape collide with reality when she’s taken hostage during a botched bank robbery by Wren Williams, a meek man desperate to feel powerful. Instead of resisting, Billy goes willingly—transforming the crime into a reckless road romance that captivates the media and enrages law enforcement, particularly fame-hungry Detective Phan. As Billy and Wren flee across the South playing outlaw lovers, public sympathy turns to suspicion: is Billy a victim, an accomplice, or something darker? When Wren’s need for control escalates into real violence and Billy’s own buried past resurfaces, she’s forced to confront an unsettling truth—she didn’t just fall into this story, she chose it. Darkly comedic and morally provocative, Strange Love is a satirical take on romance, notoriety, and the dangerous thrill of becoming the heroine of your own myth.
