What do you do when your boss expects to meet your wife, but your wedding never happened?
Just weeks before Christmas, Thomas’s well-kept secret threatens to unravel spectacularly. His wedding may have crashed and burned, but his boss remains blissfully unaware, still eagerly awaiting dinner with Thomas and his nonexistent wife—a dinner that could seal Thomas’s promotion. With his career hanging in the balance, Thomas hatches a desperate plan: recruit a fake wife for the holiday season.
Enter Krysten: jobless, soon-to-be homeless, and drowning her sorrows in a coffee shop, grappling with the harsh realities of her suddenly upturned life. Her prospects are bleak: no job, no home, no hope—until fate throws her a lifeline in the form of Thomas. He needs a wife; she needs a roof over her head. It seems like the perfect arrangement.
