Synopsis

Manhattan socialite Lila Voss loses everything when her family’s Ponzi empire collapses. Enter Dex Harlan, a silver-tongued operator with a plan: marry Lila in a lavish, very public ceremony, then use the ensuing media circus to infiltrate the ultra-exclusive vault where her father hid the last untraceable assets. Their pact is simple—if the scheme blows up, they walk away strangers. But as the heist spirals through penthouse parties, FBI stakeouts, and a fake honeymoon in the Caymans, the line between performance and passion blurs. When the vault alarm trips and every camera in the world pivots to their “perfect” marriage, Lila and Dex must decide whether to honor their original deal or risk everything by admitting they were never acting.

Cold open

INT. THE STANDARD HOTEL ROOFTOP - NIGHT

Rain slicks the infinity pool. LILA VOSS, 29, couture soaked, clutches a champagne flute as her father’s mugshot flashes on every screen. DEX HARLAN, 32, in a dripping tux, slides beside her.

DEX
They’re saying you knew. I’m saying you didn’t. Marry me tomorrow and the story changes.

LILA
And if it fails?

DEX
(smiling)
I never met you.

She studies him, then drains the glass and drops it into the pool. It sinks like a contract.
