Thrown out of an abusive home, Suki pretends to be Devin's girlfriend while she stays with his family. But what happens when pretend feelings become real?
*****
With nowhere to go after being thrown out of an abusive home, Suki asks Devin, a complete stranger, if she can stay the night with him. But what was supposed to be a short-term solution quickly turns into an open-ended promise: if Suki pretends to be Devin's girlfriend to ward off his pushy (if loving) mother, then she can live in his spare bedroom until she sorts out her life. But what happens when pretend feelings become real? Will Suki be able to overcome the fear and pain in her past in order to heal and fall in love?

Snow have dreamed for a love that is everlasting with the right guy but has no apparent luck since she thinks something about her is loveless. She gets envious from gazing at couples who looked happy together and she wishes to find that great happiness.
Casey wants love like many people and thinks he already has that. He has a girlfriend whom he loves a lot, but he didn't expect until later that she ends things between them and leaves him sulking.
When Snow finds a devastated Casey, she realizes how much she knew nothing about him. Knowing nothing about relationships and love, the two express how intangible these two factors are. Then Snow makes a proposition: for one month, they're going to be together and learn the ins and outs of dating with the way of life. There are a couple of rules, but the most important one is that they can't fall for each other.
On the last day of the month, that's when they end their relationship; which may possibly be the biggest challenge.
