Catacombs tells the story of Ari who is the unofficial (meaning not paid for it) manager of a queer bar; her boss is on a yacht in Mykonos, all her coworkers are either sick or on the side of the highway, and she’s going to have to open by herself unless she can get a last-minute temp for the night. Luckily, in strolls Beau: hot, charming, and able to load a dishwasher. As the meet-cute goes pitch perfect, it seems Ari’s ass is saved and maybe she could even have a fun hook-up when her shift is over for the night–until Beau reveals that they’re not the last-minute temp hire from the service industry app they ordered. They’re actually Ari’s reincarnated soulmate who they’ve spent dozens of lifetimes with over the past 1000 years. Whoops.
