Set against the glittering skyline of Chicago, the series centers on Serena Ayres, 23, a razor-sharp aerospace engineering student from a working-class family, whose college scholarship is suddenly yanked away by a rival's manipulation. With no money, no plan, and a career-defining internship on the line, she makes a deal with the last person she'd ever choose: Ethan Hollis, 32, the devastatingly handsome and glacially cold CEO of Hollis Aerospace Industries.
Their agreement: Serena pretends to be his fiancée for six months to manage the optics with investors and silence a meddling family. In exchange, he reinstates her scholarship and secures her internship. Businesslike. Temporary. Totally under control — until it isn't. Through shared spaces, late-night revelations, jealousy, family secrets, and moments neither can explain, a fake love becomes the most real thing either of them has ever known.
