Synopsis

At just the age when most coaches are still assistants, Shawn Holmes leads an NFL team, and no other head coach in the league's history has been younger. His team also holds the best record in the league. A winning streak should be enough to occupy him. Instead he keeps looking into the stands, where his best friend, Lacey Daniels, is sitting with a date.

During the game, Lacey's date refuses to kiss her when the kiss cam lands on them. She is mortified until Shawn steps in and kisses her himself, in front of seventy thousand fans. To both of them it is a favour between friends and nothing more.

Then the video goes viral, and the two have to decide how to handle the attention. Shawn's family keeps asking when he plans to settle down. Lacey wants to make a good impression on her boss at the hospital Christmas gala she is due to attend.

They agree to pretend to date through the holidays. This is a fake-relationship romance between friends, set in the colder weeks of winter, and the pretending grows more convincing as it goes. With New Year's approaching, the question is whether they admit what they feel or end the arrangement and part ways.
