Johnny Depp is not just a name; he is an institution in Hollywood, revered for his extraordinary talent. However, he is equally notorious for his tumultuous lifestyle and mischievous antics, making him one of the industry's most notorious "bad boys."

His dedicated assistant, frustrated with the constant negative headlines and spiraling scandals that have become his hallmark, concocts a plan to help him repair his tarnished public image. In a bid to boost his credibility, she orchestrates a strategic public relations stunt: a fake relationship with none other than Jessica Hendrick, a name that resonates in the upscale circles of New York City.

Jessica is not just another socialite; she is the daughter of a prominent hotel magnate and embodies the elegance and charm of New York City royalty. With her pristine reputation and polished demeanor, she dreams of breaking into Hollywood. However, the industry has proven to be more challenging than she anticipated, and her squeaky-clean image finds little acceptance in Hollywood.

Both Johnny and Jessica are at a crossroads. Johnny is under pressure to shed his bad-boy persona while Jessica is hungry for the recognition that Hollywood offers. Their teams see a potential win-win situation: Johnny can leverage Jessica's pristine image to his advantage, and in return, Jessica can bask in the glow of Johnny's star power as she navigates the treacherous waters of the entertainment industry.

But as their connection deepens, they must confront the realities of their worlds. Can a "bad boy" like Johnny truly commit to someone as pristine as Jessica? And can Jessica step out of the carefully curated image that has defined her thus far? As they grapple with these questions, both discover that the price of love is steep-and that the biggest challenges often come from within.
