Play Along

When rising NHL star Will Smith finds himself in the middle of a media storm, his team's solution is simple: fix the image, fix the narrative.

Enter Ava Bennett.

Focused on finishing college and staying out of the spotlight, Ava has no interest in becoming anyone's publicity stunt. But when Will's agent proposes a short-term, carefully staged relationship to steady his reputation before playoffs, Ava reluctantly agrees.

It's supposed to be temporary.
A few games.
A few photos.
A few convincing smiles.

No real feelings.

But as interviews blur into late-night conversations and staged kisses start feeling less staged, the line between public performance and private truth disappears. And when the season ends - and so does their "contract" - Ava and Will are forced to decide if what they built was just good PR... or something neither of them planned for.
