When grumpy ex-footballer Alfie Harding is forced to sell his memoirs, he knows he has no idea how to write them. He hates revealing anything about himself, is allergic to most emotions, and can't imagine doing a good job of putting pen to paper. And so, in walks curvy, cheerful, cute-as-hell ghostwriter Mabel Willicker, who knows exactly how to sunshine and sass her way into getting every little detail out of Alfie. They banter and bicker their way to writing Alfie's life story, both of them sure they'll never be anything other than at odds. But after their business arrangement is mistaken for a budding romance, the pair are forced to pretend to be an item to satisfy a public ravenous for more of this Cinderella story. And now they must decide: is their fake relationship all for show or something so real that it might just give them their fairy-tale ending?
