SYNPOSIS: RAQUELLE VAUGHN came to Los Angeles to make music, not headlines. Dropping out of college behind her parents’ backs was supposed to be the reckless part. But months later, Rocky is still struggling to turn her solid social media following into something real, piecing together a punk rock band with more ambition than money and refusing to go home until she has something to show for everything she risked.

Then she meets SLATER HUDSON.

Rock royalty, tabloid disaster, and the infamous “Prince of Punk”, Slater is haunted by his late rockstar father’s legacy while still reeling from a breakup splashed across every tabloid. Desperate to win back his ex, he sees an opportunity when a brief but unforgettable run-in with Raquelle goes viral and proposes a deal: if she pretends to be his girlfriend to make his ex jealous, he’ll use his star power to help launch her band into the spotlight. It’s a win-win.

Until the relationship they’re selling starts becoming harder to separate from the one growing behind closed doors. Between rehearsals, public appearances, and an undeniable chemistry neither of them expected, Raquelle risks putting her career on the line for a man who may still be looking backward, while Slater begins to question whether the past he’s been fighting to get back is still what he wants. And with more than one heart tangled up in their arrangement, the one thing neither of them can afford is for something fake to become real.
