Farley Jones faces an impossible situation. To land the biggest opportunity of her comedy career, she must pretend to date Meyer Harrigan, her manager and the man she secretly loves. Meyer gave up his own stand-up career years ago and now lives quietly with his daughter Hazel. Both Meyer and Hazel have become Farley's world over the past three years. Meyer hates public attention and guards his privacy fiercely, but he agrees to the fake relationship scheme to help Farley succeed. The publicity stunt forces him back into the spotlight he abandoned. As they perform their romantic charade for the cameras, real emotions surface. Farley risks losing not just her career dreams but also her friendship with Meyer and her bond with Hazel. The fake dating arrangement threatens to destroy the relationships that matter most to her, even as it might finally give her everything she thought she wanted professionally.
