Nell faces crushing student loan debt while Luke watches his bar spiral toward bankruptcy. Both see salvation in an unusual reality show offering one million dollars to the winning couple. The catch: contestants must marry complete strangers and compete in challenges across the country. Nell and Luke become partners despite being total opposites. The rules seem straightforward enough. Travel together, complete the tasks, and avoid falling in love at all costs. Breaking that final rule means disqualification and losing everything. As Nell and Luke navigate the competition against other couples, their fundamental differences create constant friction. She approaches problems methodically while he acts on instinct. Yet the forced proximity and shared stakes begin to blur the lines they swore to maintain. The million dollar prize hangs in the balance, but the real question becomes whether they can stick to their original plan when their hearts have other ideas.
