After Wade Ripple, a water element, arrives to fix it, chaos ensues, and the two elements find themselves spending the day together in at attempt to save The Fireplace from being closed down. During their journey around the city, they discover that, despite their differences, they make an incredible team, causing them to slowly but surely fall in love. But with so many obstacles in their way, will they ever find the space to be together?
