Joanna Moret, a celebrated lifestyle coach and romance specialist, has crafted a guaranteed method to combat holiday solitude, which she outlines in her popular book, The Love Audit. Following a guest spot on a morning television program, she receives a career-defining chance to organize the prestigious MacAllen Holiday Gala, with the promise of her own TV show if she succeeds. However, unbeknownst to her admirers and the MacAllens, Joanna has recently become single and struggles to implement her own advice in her personal romantic life. To avoid being revealed as a phony, she persuades Ted, the morning show’s producer, to pose as her partner.
