Description: Can You Keep a Secret? is a 2019 film that follows Emma Corrigan, a junior marketing representative at Panda, an organic food company. While traveling back to New York after a failed sales pitch in Chicago, Emma gets drunk on the plane. When turbulence hits, she panics, thinking she’s about to die, and spills her personal and professional secrets to a handsome stranger seated next to her. Among her confessions, she admits dissatisfaction with her boyfriend, Connor. After landing, Connor suggests they move in together, and Emma agrees, only to regret it the next day.
At work, Emma prepares for the arrival of Panda’s CEO, Jack Harper, only to discover he’s the stranger from the plane. Jack agrees to keep their encounter a secret and not fire her, provided Emma doesn’t reveal he was in Chicago. During a marketing meeting, Emma suggests targeting the elderly instead of millennials for the company’s “Panda Bites” product line, but her coworkers dismiss the idea. Determined, she asks a colleague for a portion of the marketing budget to test her theory.
Emma’s relationship with Connor further deteriorates when he rejects her advances during a spontaneous moment in the office archive room, leading her to break up with him. Meanwhile, Jack asks Emma out, and the two begin a passionate romance. However, Jack remains secretive about his life, prompting Emma’s best friend Lissy to warn her that the relationship may be one-sided.
The situation takes a turn when Jack appears on television to discuss Panda’s products. He describes the company’s new target demographic as the “girl on the street” and proceeds to outline Emma’s secrets without naming her. Her coworkers quickly realize it’s her and begin mocking her. Jack realizes his mistake too late, and Emma refuses to take his calls. When he finally confronts her, Emma demands answers about his frequent trips to Chicago, but Jack remains evasive. Emma’s roommates suggest getting even by exposing his secrets, but she declines the idea.
