Coraline, a privileged heiress, burns with rage after discovering her boyfriend, Greg, in the arms of her best friend, Emily. Her world, once defined by designer labels and social circles, crumbles into betrayal. Desperate to ignite Greg's jealousy, Coraline devises a plan, turning to the last person she'd ever consider: Jasper, a sharp-tongued barista who delights in mocking her 'daddy's credit card princess' status. She proposes a fake relationship, a public charade to exact her revenge. Jasper, ever the opportunist, agrees, but not for free, demanding a daily fee that stings Coraline's pride. As they navigate their fabricated romance, their initial animosity threatens to unravel their delicate pact, forcing them to confront the real emotions stirring beneath the surface. Can their fake relationship survive the sparks flying between them, or will it expose wounds neither anticipated?
