Anna Green is barely getting by, working two jobs to support herself and her father's medical bills, when her husband drops by ‒ Liam is the brother of a friend whom she married in college so that he (and she) could get into family housing at UCLA. (She got to keep the couch when he graduated and went on his way.) She thought the paperwork she'd signed almost 3 years ago meant that they were now divorced. But he admits to her that they are still married, and well, he needs to bring a wife to an extravagant wedding in Indonesia in order to preserve a large inheritance from his grandfather. Anna and Liam had hardly interacted while sharing the apartment for those two years, but she's willing to play along as his wife when she realizes that he'll pay her well for her time over this 12 day extravaganza on a secluded island.
What happens next is kind of a mash up of Pygmalion and Crazy Rich Asians, with an especially toxic family member thrown in for good measure. And although sex hadn't been part of their original agreement back in college, sexual tension plays its own large role in this new situation.
