When Everly lands her dream gig running a Bridesmaid for Hire program, she's thrilled to team up with charming billionaire Hardy Hopper—until he asks her to help him win back his ex at an upcoming wedding where they'll be standing opposite each other as best man and maid of honor. Everly's determined to nail both the job and the matchmaking mission, even as her feelings for Hardy keep growing in ways she definitely didn't plan for. But Hardy's discovering that the woman who's been right in front of him all along might be exactly what he's been looking for, and suddenly winning back his ex is the last thing on his mind. With meddling friends, messy timing, and professional lines getting dangerously blurry, these two will have to figure out if what they're building is worth the risk—or if they're destined to miss their shot at something real.

Upbeat indie-pop with witty, romantic energy—think Taylor Swift's playful side, Conan Gray's bittersweet charm, and HAIM's warm indie-rock. Mix in feel-good contemporary pop (Olivia Rodrigo, boygenius) with soft acoustic moments for the tender undercurrents beneath the chaos.
