Antonio Flores is a humble valet living with his mother, Cecilia. He is a divorced father sharing the custody of his teenage son with his ex-wife, Isabel. Meanwhile, actress Olivia Allan is having an affair with city developer and married billionaire Vincent Royce. One night, when Olivia is with Vincent, Antonio has an accident nearby, and the three are photographed together, sparking rumors of Olivia and Vincent's affair. Fearing he will lose his company if his wife Kathryn divorces him, Vincent comes up with a plan to have Olivia and Antonio pretend to be a couple. Olivia accepts the proposal because she wants to avoid any bad publicity before the premiere of her new movie, Earhart, in which she stars as Amelia Earhart. Antonio requests $12,850 from Vincent to pay for Isabel's debts. Antonio and Olivia go out for lunch surrounded by paparazzi.
