Maddie, a recent college graduate, is struggling to make ends meet and is about to lose her childhood home. Desperate for a job, she comes across a unique opportunity: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to "date" their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college. Maddie is initially hesitant but decides to take the job.
As she spends time with Percy, Maddie realizes that he is not what she expected. He is smart, kind, and has a dry sense of humor that she finds charming. Despite his introverted nature, Percy opens up to Maddie and they form a genuine connection.
However, as their fake relationship begins to feel more real, the pressure from Percy's parents increases. Maddie is torn between her growing feelings for Percy and the reality of their arrangement. Can they overcome the obstacles in their way and find a way to be together, or will their relationship end once Percy leaves for college?
