A bitter man agrees to marry his overly-bubbly ex-girlfriend in order to please her terminally-ill mother.
Lawrence and Marina have a history of dating: it was messy, catastrophic, and beautiful. Marina's mother has been diagnosed with cancer, and her wish is for her daughter to get married. Marina asks Lawrence to take part in the deal, and he agrees, if only because he has a strong emotional connection to Marina's mother.
Marina is a bubbly person with a passionate personality. Lawrence is significantly more serious, but with just as much fire. Scott is their mutual best friend, a happy-go-lucky kind of guy with relationship problems of his own with his distant and apathetic boyfriend. He doesn't know that it's a fake wedding, but he thinks their marriage-to-be is a bad idea. And Drew? He is Marina's boyfriend, and he knows about the upcoming fake wedding. And he is not good news.
As Dallas and Drayton navigate life in the spotlight, Spencer is navigating intense feelings for Nathan - her best friend's brother.
