A few convincing smiles. No real feelings. But as interviews blur into late-night conversations and staged kisses start feeling less staged, the line between public performance and private truth disappears. And when the season ends - and so does their "contract" - Ava and Will are forced to decide if what they built was just good PR... or something neither of them planned for.
