Margo Johnson is the savvy, quick-witted social media manager for the New Jersey Devils. Luke Hughes is the team's quiet, underrated defenseman-and her longtime college friend. They've shared years of inside jokes, late-night phone calls, and off-the-record interviews. But when a candid photo of them laughing goes viral, fans start shipping them hard. To feed the hype (and protect a few team headlines), they agree to fake date. But pretending is harder than they expected-especially when old feelings resurface and lines blur between curated moments and the real ones. From bus rides and hotel rooms to late-night talks and a snow-covered Diag in Michigan, Margo and Luke must navigate growing attention, genuine emotions, and what it means to fall in love under the spotlight... but off the record. A soft, slow-burn romance about missed chances, second glances, and loving someone when the cameras are both on and off.
