Description

Hot Air is a gleefully chaotic, hilarious romp that explores relationships, riches, desire, and revenge, beginning with a billionaire who dramatically crash-lands his hot-air balloon into the middle of an awkward, post-pandemic first date.

Joannie hasn’t been on a date in seven long years when Johnny finally asks her and her daughter over for dinner. Johnny’s home is wonderful, his son is delightful—and their first kiss, although not exactly perfect, is almost good enough. At least, that’s what Joannie keeps telling herself.

But everything changes abruptly when Jonathan, Joannie’s childhood crush—whose teenage summer romance has blossomed into billionaire-level celebrity—unexpectedly crashes his hot-air balloon into Johnny’s swimming pool. Drawn into this whirlwind reunion, Joannie suddenly finds herself tangled up in a chaotic weekend away with Johnny (the questionable kisser), Jonathan (the billionaire), and Julia, his beautiful and brilliant wife.

This encounter sparks a dizzying chain of tensions, alliances, and shifting attractions. Is Joannie still drawn to Jonathan? Does Julia secretly desire her husband—or Joannie herself—or even Joannie’s enchanting young daughter? Does Johnny find himself captivated by Julia, Jonathan’s intriguing wife? And is Jonathan truly attracted to Joannie, or his sophisticated wife, Julia—or perhaps even Vivian, his youthful personal assistant who’s tasked with smoothing things over?

An irresistible exploration of love, lust, astonishing wealth, and the intoxicating pursuit of it all, Hot Air is a deliciously funny, witty, and thrilling satire crafted perfectly for our billionaire-obsessed age.
