A fake engagement romance where he falls first but she keeps tripping, over herself and him.

After being shoved down the corporate ladder and buried under a mountain of debt, Zarna Rai only wants to fade into obscurity. But when her boss persuades her to attend a company strategy retreat at a five-star nature reserve, she sees it as her lucky break.

Her fantasy getaway takes an unexpected turn when MMA celebrity fighter Mayan Samar, convinces her to participate in a wild scheme—posing as his fake fiancée. Desperate for the money, Zarna figures, what could possibly go wrong?

Mayan is back in the country, determined to prove himself to the public. Having earned his titles through years of hard work in the octagon, his ratings are now slipping, along with his business deals. The shy, unassuming Zarna is his answer—until he brings her into his penthouse and discovers there’s much more to her than he expected.

As a barrage of bad press, a host of meddling aunties, and a looming threat from a shady loan shark descend upon them, the fake couple is forced into a wild, unpredictable journey neither of them ever signed up for.
