When a notorious campus player overhears that your college dreams are about to collapse, he swoops in with an irresistible proposition: fake date him until graduation so he can secure his inheritance, and he'll pay your tuition. It's the perfect transactional arrangement—you need the money, he needs to prove he's commitment-ready—so there's absolutely no way your heart is getting involved. But as this charming guy shows you the genuine person beneath his player reputation, the line between performance and reality starts to blur in the most unexpected ways. Get ready for a fake-dating romance that'll have you believing in second chances and the transformative power of being truly seen by someone.
