THE SUN NEVER SETS stars Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Cory Michael Smith in a quietly strange love triangle about the ways love is confusing and frustrating and sometimes forces us to confront the things we’ve been avoiding.

Wendy (Fanning) thinks her life is on the right track. She’s settled into a comfortable rhythm with Jack (Johnson), an older man with kids and a past he’s already lived. But when Jack suggests they take a short break—so she can be sure she’s ready to commit to him and let go of her hopes for marriage and children—it forces her to confront what she truly wants. Suddenly she’s torn between two futures: the spontaneous, unpredictable life that excites her, and the steady, committed one she’s been building. Now she has to make a choice before the moment slips away.

She goes on a random date and ends up in a local bar—where Chuck (Smith), the ex, suddenly reappears and instantly ignites the lighter, reckless side of Wendy she’s been trying to quiet. He’s spontaneous, charming, and now claims he’s finally ready to start a family of his own. The timing couldn’t be worse. His return doesn’t just stir old feelings; it destabilizes everything she thought she’d made peace with. In a single moment, Wendy is yanked between two versions of her life: the one she’s been trying to commit to, and the one she’s terrified she still wants.

Set against the glorious beauty of Anchorage, Alaska, THE SUN NEVER SETS is both intimate and chaotic, emotional and very cinematic. It's a fork-in-the-road story that forces you to pick the road you are turning toward.

It’s about trying to shape a future for yourself even when you’re unsure of what you want, and choosing between different paths when you want both.
