Sasha Leigh has spent a decade clawing her way through Hollywood—only to become a walking punchline. With her reputation in shreds and her career circling the drain, her manager signs her up for one last desperate gamble: a reality dating show.

Her assigned role? The pick-me girl. The villain. The chaos grenade viewers will love to hate.

Sasha is ready to play along—until she discovers one of the contestants is Ethan Hale, the ex-boyfriend she ghosted without a word three years ago.

Now, trapped in front of rolling cameras, Sasha must juggle a scripted role designed to destroy her, the judgment of millions of viewers, and the unresolved tension with the man who knows her better than anyone.

But as reality blurs with the show’s “reality,” Sasha begins to realize that some sparks can’t be staged.

And this time, walking away might not be an option.

"Some roles are scripted. Some sparks aren't".
