Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Lila Bennett has always flown under the radar at Silver Ridge High, preferring her sketchbook to the drama-filled halls of high school. But when an accidental coffee spill puts her on Ethan Carter's radar, her quiet life is thrown into chaos. Ethan, the charming basketball captain with a reputation for winning hearts, has a problem-his ex-girlfriend Olivia won't leave him alone. Desperate to prove he's moved on, Ethan comes up with a wild idea: convince Lila to pretend to be his girlfriend. In exchange, he'll help her build her social profile and get the art teacher's recommendation she needs to enter her dream competition. What starts as a simple arrangement quickly spirals into late-night study sessions, staged dates, and unexpected sparks. Lila sees past Ethan's polished exterior to the boy who loves cheesy movies and fears disappointing everyone around him. Ethan, in turn, finds himself drawn to Lila's sarcasm, creativity, and quiet strength. But when Olivia uncovers their fake relationship and sets out to expose them, Lila and Ethan are forced to confront their feelings. Can something that started as pretend turn into something real, or will the truth ruin everything?
