Jem Chang is many things: an adept wheelchair user, a walking—pun intended—disaster, and the heir to one of Singapore’s wealthiest families. Except he left that life of pomp and privilege behind when he and his sister moved across the world to start afresh, distancing themselves from crazy-rich drama. That is, until they are forced to return home to the island country to celebrate Lunar New Year.

Family gatherings are tolerable at best with a glass of Dom Pérignon, but less so when faced with endless interrogations about settling down. Yet no one’s ever posed that question to Jem. Believing his disability to be a dealbreaker, the pressure of a familial legacy is heaped onto his sister instead. To take the heat off her and prove he can be boyfriend material, Jem announces that he’ll be bringing his boyfriend home for the festivities. The one who happens to be nonexistent.

Enter: Shawn Beckett. Frustratingly handsome, seemingly put together, and annoyingly dedicated to his job, Jem enjoys nothing more than antagonizing Shawn. Unfortunately, Shawn is the only available option and, almost against his will, is drafted.

As both men fake a relationship through fifteen days of jaw-dropping opulence, gossiping relatives, and quiet moments stolen away for themselves, Jem begins to grapple with being back in his hometown, his self-worth, standing up—pun once again intended—to his opinionated family members, and opening his heart to the terrifying moment when the lines between make believe and reality begin to blur.
