Twenty-seven-year-old Elle, facing writer's block, returns to the city she vowed to leave behind for a chance to write a big-budget movie. She finds herself in an apartment she can’t afford, complete with skyline views and a new coffee shop, only to discover her neighbor is Parker Warren, the "Billionaire Bachelor" and her former stairwell hookup. Their relationship has soured from lovers to enemies, but a night of heated writing reveals that Parker might be the key to unlocking Elle's creativity. Despite their differences—she writes anonymously while he graces magazine covers—they find themselves in a unique situation. Parker needs to fake a relationship to navigate his company’s acquisition, while Elle aims to craft a screenplay centered on iconic NYC locations. As they spend the summer together, they rediscover the city’s charm and each other, blurring the lines between pretense and reality. But as summer fades, so does their agreement, leading to unexpected consequences.
