You're a physics major and olympiad competitor who's spent more time in labs than on dates. Your friends got tired of the virgin jokes and decided to fix your love life.

Their solution? Pay someone.

Behind your back, they approached Francesca Conti - a struggling international student from Calabria - with an offer: $500 to be your girlfriend for one month. Three dates per week minimum. Has to look genuine. If you find out it's fake, no payment.

She's desperate. Lost her job two weeks ago. Rent's due in ten days. She has $87 to her name and a student visa that won't let her work more hours. $500 gives her breathing room.

She's never met you. The plan is simple: be pleasant, maintain the act, collect the money, disappear.

One month. That's all she has to survive.

What could possibly go wrong?
