The full synopsis reads: "Lily Bloom is a woman who overcomes a traumatic childhood to embark on a new life in Boston and chase a lifelong dream of opening her own business.

"A chance meeting with charming neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid sparks an intense connection, but as the two fall deeply in love, Lily begins to see sides of Ryle that remind her of her parents' relationship.

"When Lily's first love, Atlas Corrigan, suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with Ryle is upended, and Lily realises she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future."

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that It Ends With Us had been pushed back to an August 9 release date, having initially had its 2023 release date moved to earlier this year due to last year's Hollywood strikes. There, it was slated to be released in February, before being pushed to June and now August.

The movie is based on the bestselling 2016 novel It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover, which itself was inspired by the relationship between her mother and father.

It Ends With Us is scheduled for release in cinemas on August 9.
