When spoiled Vermont socialite, Caroline Perrett finds out she's spent all her money, she has two choices:
1) Get a job, sell her luxury condo and three of her cars, and learn to live within a budget.
2) Find someone to propose to quickly so she can inherit the last of her grandmother's trust fund money which will only be released when she marries.
Michael DuBois, Caroline's accountant, broke the devastating news to her and tries to get her to mend her spendthrift ways. He's dubious of her ability to find a husband in less than four weeks when he anticipates the last of her money will run out. Meanwhile, Michael has his own money issues. His younger brother just got accepted to Harvard, and his mother, sister, and youngest brother are entirely reliant on him for support. Topping off his financial worries is the looming bankruptcy of the accounting business he inherited from his father.
With time slipping by and no alternatives, the two make a pact. They will marry, make it look like the real deal, then divorce and go their separate ways after they split the trust fund money.
As their ruse continues, the couple tries to keep up the happy-couple appearance. But there's something far more precious at stake now than five million dollars...their hearts.
