The film is based on a novel of the same name by Robin Kirman, which Simon & Schuster will publish on February 15.

As the pair hop borders across Europe, their former lives threatening to catch up with them while the truth grows more elusive, we witness how love can lead us astray, as well as what it means to lose oneself in love…
Kirman is adapting the screenplay, with Dakota Johnson and Ro Donnelley producing under their TeaTime Pictures banner.
