Freshly heartbroken Daphne gets dumped by her fiancé Peter, who then decides to marry his childhood best friend Petra. Now stranded in the picturesque town of Waning Bay, Michigan, Peter's hometown, with a dream job as a children's librarian that barely pays the bills, Daphne needs a plan. Enter Miles, Petra's ex. Yes, the situation is as awkward as it sounds.
Despite their opposing personalities - Daphne, the organized librarian, and Miles, the chaotic musician - they find themselves united in their heartbreak. With nowhere else to turn, Daphne proposes a shocking solution: become roommates. Sharing a roof with your ex-fiancé's new fiancée's ex? Not exactly ideal, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.
To add some spice (and revenge!), Daphne and Miles hatch a plan. They'll post deliberately misleading photos on social media, pretending to have a whirlwind summer romance. It's the ultimate "get back at them" scheme. But as they navigate their fake relationship and undeniable chemistry, the line between pretend and reality starts to blur.
