People We Meet on Vacationfollows the reunion of unlikely best friend duo Poppy, an outgoing writer who loves to travel, and Alex, a quiet and introverted high school teacher.

After college (which is where they met) Poppy moved to New York City while Alex stayed in their Ohio hometown, so the only chance they have to see each other each year is their annual week-long trip — until an incident that keeps them from speaking for years.

But Poppy misses Alex, so she asks him on one last vacation, and he accepts.
