The story follows Bea, a Boston University law student, who meets Ben, an employee at Goldman Sachs, while attempting to get a restroom key at a coffee shop. They share an immediate connection and spend the day together but part ways after a misunderstanding. They don’t cross paths again for two years until family ties bring them together when Bea’s sister Halle starts dating Ben’s friend Pete.
As Halle and Claudia’s wedding in Sydney approaches, Bea, having recently broken up with her fiancé Jonathan and left law school, finds herself on the same flight to Australia as Ben. Their mutual disdain complicates things, frustrating the wedding party, especially with the presence of Jonathan and Ben’s ex-girlfriend Margaret.
To navigate the situation, Bea and Ben agree to pretend they are in a relationship to deter Jonathan’s and Margaret’s interference and to allow them to enjoy the wedding without pressure.
