What could Whiskey Mitchell, a singer, and Carlos Sainz Jr., a Formula 1 driver have in common? They both need something drastic to help their public image. After a dramatic moment shared between the two of them at the Miami Grand Prix, their managers have just the idea. A PR relationship.  With everything to lose,  will these two people be able to find a middle ground after getting off to a rocky start? Will real feelings threaten to disrupt their fake relationship? Can anything started from lies last or will this whole arrangement crash and burn?

Lilianna McNair, a young mother on a family holiday with her parents, older brother and 5-year-old daughter, decides to go out for a night on the town with her brother and some of his friends. They head to a trendy nightclub where the music is loud, and the drinks flow freely. At first, Lilianna and her brother are enjoying themselves on the dance floor, but she soon loses sight of her brother. Feeling lost and alone in the bustling crowd, she's about to leave the club when she runs into Formula 1 driver, Max Verstappen. Max takes pity on Lilianna and keeps her company until her brother comes back. The pair hit it off right away, and Max charms her with his good looks and quick wit. They spend the rest of the evening talking and laughing together, and before she knows it, the night is over. However, fate has other plans in store for Lilianna and Max. They re-encounter each other at the Monte Carlo F1 circuit, where Max has a race. Lilianna is overwhelmed by the excitement of the event but even more so by Max's passionate driving and on-track prowess. They share a moment in the paddock, where Max invites Lilianna to join him for a drink after the race. The rest of the holiday passes by in a blur, but Lilianna can't shake from her mind the night she spent with Max. When the family returns home, Lilianna finds herself in a difficult position. She doesn't want to leave her daughter behind to pursue a relationship with Max, but she can't deny the sparks that fly between them. Ultimately, Lilianna must decide what is most important to her: the love of her life or the safety and happiness of her child. What will she choose? Only time will tell...

'It's easy to hate someone when you don't know their story. Before, I saw him as the one thing getting in my way, someone who breezed in and took everything from me with no good reason why. But I came to realise that both of us were carrying huge burdens, just fighting to keep steady. It turned out that we were more the same than I had ever thought possible.'
