Single mother April is about to become an empty nester, and while she likes her quaint little town it's time to move on. She asks her friend Mitch for his help with some home improvements to get her house ready to sell. He agrees to help her, on one condition: she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at an upcoming family dinner. April reluctantly agrees, but when the dinner turns into a weekend trip, it becomes hard to tell the difference between what's real and what's for show. When summer begins and Mitch's family shows up unexpectedly, April pretends to be Mitch s girlfriend again... something that doesn't feel so fake anymore.
