Diana Dixon has her hands full this summer. She rehearses for a dance competition while working two jobs and dealing with her ex-boyfriend. Then Shane, a hockey player with a reputation for one-night stands, moves in next door. Diana sets firm boundaries: no parties in her apartment, no hitting on her cheerleader teammates, and most importantly, he needs to leave her alone. Shane has grown tired of meaningless hookups, but when his ex-girlfriend reappears, he wants to make her jealous. He proposes a fake relationship with Diana. The arrangement would solve some of Diana's problems too, so she agrees to the charade. As they spend more time together pretending to be a couple, the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore.
