Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter, Elle, has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She's had writer's block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer.In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to. It’s the perfect place to write her screenplay … until she realises her new neighbour is tech 'Billionaire Bachelor' Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It’s been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since.
He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company's precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper-glimmering, pizza-crusted, sunlit charms of the city.
It’s all pretend. Until it isn't.
