When Owen’s wealthy, conservative uncle unexpectedly dies, the reading of the will puts him in a predicament — he must forfeit his portion of the inheritance, or find a fiancée, and fast. Owen has no interest in getting married for real, but he also can’t let the prospect of free money get away from him over something as trivial as paperwork.
With some fast talk and the promise of a share in the inheritance, Amy readily agrees to travel to their hometown to pose as Owen’s funeral date and fake wife for the weekend. Even though it's just a business transaction, Amy realizes that being in constant close quarters with her long-time best friend and crush and pretending to be married is a little more than she can bear, and they soon find themselves cracking under the pressure. It’s going to take a miracle for them to make it through the funeral and beyond without blowing their cover or catching feelings in this friends-to-lovers romcom!
