What could be messier than fake dating your high school crush in your thirties? Wyatt Jensen is about to find out.

When baseball player Adrian Delgado makes headlines for kissing a man, Wyatt wants to step up. The Kansas City Meadowlarks are desperate to take back control of the situation and are happy to entertain the idea of a fake relationship with country music’s openly gay golden boy.

From the second Adrian sees Wyatt, he tries to put his foot down but everything he’s built is at risk if he doesn’t agree. Despite his reluctance, he has no choice but to agree.

As summer creeps on, Adrian’s walls slowly come down, and he starts letting Wyatt in. Suddenly, Wyatt sees a side of Adrian he’s never had access to and can’t help but fall for the man his high school crush has become. And to Wyatt’s surprise, he thinks Adrian might actually feel the same.

But feelings don’t change how hard it is for them to be honest with each other. The song Wyatt wrote about Adrian when they were in high school, the struggle of what it means to be out in the public eye, and a fear that everything could be lost. It’s hard to form anything real when the spotlight is on you and outside voices are questioning your every move.

All Wyatt ever wanted was to build a future with someone he loved- he just never thought he'd find it by revisiting his past.
