Summary
Samira is 23 years old, a scholarship student at PTMC. She has her whole life planned out, and so far she’s been checking off every goal.
Until she meets Jack Abbot. Not in a normal way. With lies. With both of them pretending to be someone they’re not.
Jack Abbot, 43, night shift supervisor, wears a fake wedding ring. He has never been married and never been widowed—but the ring works like a magnet. It keeps expectations low. It keeps things simple.
But one night is enough for something to go wrong. One of those situations with an 85% to 98% effectiveness rate.
And somehow… they end up being the exception.
