After four months of unemployment, former book editor Clara Montgomery is still stuck sleeping on her little brotherβs ugly couch in Queens. Determined to keep her minuscule savings account intact, she takes a job clearing out abandoned storage units, but is in no way prepared for stumbling upon dead snakes or trying to identify exactly where the perpetual stench of beets is emanating from.
When Clara comes across a unit that was once owned by an escort service, she finds the brothel βrΓ©sumΓ©β of a younger Caspian Tiddleswichβ¦ an astonishingly famous British actor. Her best friend thinks she should sell the gossip to a tabloid to fund her way off the couch from hell, but Clara instead manages to track down Caspianβs contact info, intending to reassure him that her lips are sealed.
Unfortunately, Caspian misinterprets Claraβs attempt at altruism and shows up on her doorstep, accusing her of blackmail. When the paparazzi capture a photo of them together, Caspianβs PR team sees an opportunity to promote his latest filmβand if Clara wants to atone for her βcrimes,β sheβll have to play along. Pretending to be Caspianβs girlfriend seems like it will be a tolerable, if somewhat daunting, penanceβ¦ until their fake romance becomes something more than either of them expected.
