Twenty-three-year-old actress Celia Stuart is offered the career-changing role of a lifetime: the lead in The Werewolf and The Witch Queen. However, part of her contract states she must agree to be in a PR relationship with the handsome lead actor, Thomas Richardson.
Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity, Celia agrees to partake in the fake relationship, but there's one issue she needs to take care of first: Brandon, her boyfriend of six years. This wouldn't be hard, as he lost his academic scholarship and was forced to drop out of college, and lately he also lost direction in life.
After an awkward first meeting, Celia soon realizes that their fake relationship isn't the only secret her co-star is keeping. Thomas is hiding a chronic illness, a memento from twenties when he was the poster child of trashy tabloids and bad decisions. Brandon, meanwhile, gets sick of seeing her paparazzi pictures with another guy, and he sets out to prove their relationship is fake while she starts to fall for Thomas for real.
Celia is forced to juggle her developing feelings for Thomas, and the burden of keeping his secret from Hollywood, all while acting the role of a lifetime. Getting what she wants may seem impossible, but that's got less to do with Thomas' illness and more to do with Brandon's jealousy-neither of which she can escape.
