Stranded Cruise: COVID-19 Time Slip Romance

An unforgettable love story beyond time and space...

32-year-old American, Maurice Beckmeyer marries a young Japanese woman called Yulia Sugawara. The two embark on a cruise in luxury ship, Lunar Halo on January 20, 2020.

Yulia Sugawara has had a traumatic past. She lost her parents and younger brother in the 2011 tsunami. Maurice knows about Yulia’s tragedy and wants to make the rest of her life blissful. The two enjoy themselves to the hilt on their honeymoon.

All is well until the quarantine inspectors start testing all the passengers of the ship for the deadly new coronavirus, which spread in Wuhan. On the 3rd of Feb, Lunar Halo is docked in Yokohama. It is rumored that a few passengers have tested positive for the fatal coronavirus. The passengers apparently counteracted it from a Chinese man who boarded Lunar Halo at Hong Kong on January 25.

Maurice isn’t much bothered by what is going on around him. He is delighted to be quarantined with his new wife in their cabin. The honeymoon continues until Yulia is tested positive for the virus and succumbs to it.

A heartbroken Maurice takes a chartered flight to the US. In order to forget his pain, he drinks too much and loses consciousness.

Maurice wakes up in a classroom. He finds himself in a delicate female body, which is dressed in a school uniform and is sporting a ponytail.

It doesn’t take Maurice long to figure out that he has transformed into Yulia and has time-travelled to Kita-Souma of March 2011, the day Yulia’s family was washed away by the tsunami.
