Sometimes falling in love is as easy as ABC.

Sophie Hore is ready for a fresh start. Five months after the end of a toxic relationship, she’s excited to take on her new role as a school social worker. But her excitement for the new job takes a surprising turn when on her first day she comes face to face with Foster, her best friend’s brother and the boy she fell in love with at five years old.

Foster Walsh loves his work as an educational assistant despite the ceaseless remarks of disappointment from his family. When he unexpectedly spots Sophie standing at his classroom door one morning, memories of their youth resurface and ignite long buried feelings for his sister’s best friend.

With an upcoming alumni event, Sophie turns to Foster for help. In a bold move, Foster agrees to be her date—under one condition: Sophie will accompany him to an annual barbeque as his girlfriend, in hopes that it will give him a break from his matchmaker friends’ relentless attempts of finding him “the one.”

What begins as an innocent arrangement spirals into a whirlwind of "friend dates" through the alphabet, each testing their creativity to not just come up with a date but keep their feelings under wraps. As the line between pretend and reality blurs, are they prepared for where the alphabet leads?
