Sloane Ford is in desperate need of something to do after losing her steady TV gig. When her famous family ropes her into working as a producer on their World War II-era romance, they neglect to mention that the film will be headlined by Joseph Donovan, her least favourite former co-star. When the lead actress is abruptly fired, Sloane agrees to step in and take over the role. On camera, she and Joseph share an electric chemistry. Off camera, they've been honing their characters and, much to Sloane's surprise, growing closer. But playing a woman in love with Joseph Donovan is a dangerous business, and the more time they spend together, the less Sloane can tell what's real and what's just for show.
