Curtis and the Wanting of Princess ZipZap

Curtis Firdam thought a road trip with his new girlfriend would be all flirting, bad snacks, and motel sex. Instead, the drive to a fan convention for her most famous voice role detonates into emotional chaos, public humiliation, and a relationship suddenly forced to get real.

Callie Cohen is a professional voice actor on her way to her first major convention—best known as the voice of Princess ZipZap, a beloved animated mouse with a devoted fanbase and a dangerously catchy falsetto. Off-mic, Callie is electric, funny, wildly sexual, and carrying more emotional weight than Curtis realizes.

When a playful argument spirals out of control somewhere between the highway and a hotel lobby, Curtis finds himself dumped mid-trip and stranded in a Marriott hosting a Christian singles conference—while Callie weaponizes charm, confidence, and a room full of men who absolutely should not be talking to her.

As the night unravels into disastrous misunderstandings, hotel bars gone feral, and an emotional reckoning neither of them planned for, Curtis must face the difference between enjoying someone and choosing them. Callie, meanwhile, has to decide whether she's willing to stay when things stop being easy—or if running has always been safer.

Curtis and the Wanting of Princess ZipZap is a spicy romantic comedy about miscommunication, mental health, emotional courage, and what happens when a fantasy voice becomes a very real woman with real needs.

Funny, filthy, tender, and unexpectedly honest, this is a love story that takes the long way on purpose—and proves some relationships need directions because they refuse to stay simple.
