Alex is an ordinary, highly-introverted office worker. He clocks in and out and goes home to the little apartment he shares with his younger sister. He hasn't dated in years--until his co-workers set him up on a blind date. The only issue is he and his date are not on the same page. At all. While Alex thinks it's a normal date, Damián is under the impression Alex is a client who paid to be there. No-so-quickly, they realize something is up. It's all a prank. Damián is a sex worker who Alex's co-workers hired as a sick joke. After reassuring that they're both okay, Alex decides he wants revenge for both him and Damián. The plan is to use the stigma of sex work in their favor and start a 6-week, scandalous fake dating scheme with a big finale at the office Halloween party. Alex's co-workers will be too horrified to try to prank him again. At least, that's the plan.
