Sometimes, the unexpected things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will happen to us.
Meet Madison Baker. A person who transpires to be normal, carefree, small town girl that's making her way out of college to pursue her dream job as a Junior Copywriter along with her rebellious bestfriend who urged her in the first place.
However, when she got punctually requested to act as a confidante of a mysterious man and got contrived to live with him until the infrangible contract expires, that dream starts to gradually obliterate.
Throughout her stay, she gathers a cluster of information regarding his masked nature, enthralling personality and gloomy past. But as they spent more time together, it led to the contracts most proscribed rule:
Never fall in love.
