["Semi-Soet" but make it...✨American✨] A driven advertising executive Juliette Bennett is invited to South Africa to pitch to a prestigious, family-run wine estate. To impress the clients, who value stability and tradition, she hires a charming stranger to pose as her fiancé. But the plan begins to unravel when she discovers her pretend partner Jake Parker is, in fact, the very businessman (known as the "Jackal") threatening to take over her company. What follows is a journey that's part bitter, part sweet. Much like the perfect glass of semi-sweet wine.
