Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley returns to her childhood bedroom in Culpepper, a town she couldn't escape fast enough. The familiar faces still dominate, now with car dealerships and McMansions, and the town hasn't forgotten the Homecoming disaster she caused in high school. Seeking a fresh start, Marley takes a temporary teaching job, tasked with coaching the worst girls' soccer team in school history while managing gym class students glued to their phones. Enter Jake Weston, the former bad boy turned charming teacher, who becomes her fake boyfriend to help navigate the challenges. Their deal: he’ll teach her coaching skills if she helps him learn about relationships. As their arrangement heats up, the line between fake and real blurs, leading to unexpected intimacy. However, Marley grapples with her past and the fear that her rock-bottom situation can't become a foundation for a happy future. The story promises humor and heart, featuring a meet-puke, a rival with a bouffant, quirky events like donkey basketball, and a makeover orchestrated by teens, all while exploring the complexities of a relationship that starts as a ruse but feels increasingly genuine.
