Pat is single, 30, and on the brink of a new collaborative project at work. That is, until he discovers that the leader of the other project team is none other than Pran, his old neighbor and childhood enemy, who hasn’t seen him since that Christmas concert in high school. And maybe it wouldn’t be a big deal if it weren’t for the fact that one of the investors knew both of their parents and how much they hated each other.

And then if Korn, in a panic, hadn’t said, “Oh, don’t worry about that. They’re dating!”

Now Pran, whom Pat hasn’t seen in fifteen years, is suddenly his boyfriend—at least, on the surface. He’s still the same Pran from before, except for the parts where he’s older and different, and grew up without Pat. And as they pretend to be in a relationship for the sake of their work, Pat finds himself getting more than what he bargained for with Pran—especially when it comes to his heart.

Or: Pat and Pran haven’t seen each other since high school. Fifteen years later, they’ve found themselves in a little bit of a relationship situation. A fake one, at that.
