BRAN’S CAUGHT BY LOVE SYNOPSIS

The movie starts with a MEET CUTE!!!! Annie bumps into Jake. Jake bumps into Annie. It’s nothing… except it’s everything.

Annie has just arrived in Malta on a little journey of self-discovery. She’s staying at a hotel that’s basically a full-body detox: no coffee, no caffeine, no alcohol, no fun. Annie and Jake keep catching each other’s eye, and sparks are definitely flying.

She notices Jake taking photos and helps him figure out the right lens. But what is he taking pictures of? Well—plot twist—he’s undercover! A very expensive necklace was stolen from a museum, and Jake got a tip that a buyer would be at this hotel sometime this week. That’s why he’s there. The big question: who has the necklace?

Jake becomes suspicious of Annie because she’s too kind… and because she’s staying in a room booked under another name. Still, they start hanging out, and Annie eventually discovers that he’s undercover. Naturally, she insists on helping with the investigation and throws herself fully into it.

They almost kiss—but the moment is ruined when someone nearby causes a scene.

They start suspecting one particular guy is the jewel thief. While Annie is out exploring, she sees him making what looks like a shady deal. She hops onto a boat to follow him, and Jake chases after her, jumping straight into the water. He catches up—only to discover it was just a boat sale. Jake tells Annie she has to stop trying to help before she gets herself in real trouble.

Annie’s friend shows up, and they hang out, with Annie admitting how much she likes Jake. Later, everyone ends up at a party, where Annie and Jake reconnect—and finally identify the real bad guy.

They catch him… and celebrate with a kiss.
