Scottie Price just started a new job and it's a real sausage fest. She's the only woman on a team filled with Brads and Chads. Expecting a bachelor pad atmosphere, she is quickly corrected when she finds out everyone is happily married.
In an effort to impress her boss, Scottie mentions her nonexistent husband in a company meeting. But eagle-eyed Chad points out her lack of wedding ring. Panicked, Scottie creates a story about her unhappy marriage. Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solutionāa one-on-one session with the best marriage counselor in the Northeast, who happens to be her bossās husband.
With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire.
Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of improv: always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottieās co-workers where sheāll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.

Till Summer Do Us Part
āI know youāve been through a lot. If thereās one thing I donāt want you to ever experience again, itās that feeling of insignificance. Iām in awe of you, and I know with certainty that I want to be a better manā¦for you. You deserve to be worshipped, so Iām going to prove that I can be the man who can do that. Iām going to prove that and more to you.ā
āHolding information out of fear is the biggest form of miscommunication, but itās also the most common. Every relationship, no matter how excellent you are at talking to your partner, experiences a form of miscommunication. Itās human nature. We become guarded, we donāt want to get hurt, weāre unsure of how the other person is going to respond, so we hold our cards close to our chest. We donāt tell the entire truth, which always hurts the relationship in the long run.
āIām a chill guy, but donāt fuck with me, and donāt fuck with the people in my life.ā
āYou wereā¦you were perfect. You did nothing wrong. You actually did everything right, and Iām starting to realize that I spent so much time in a relationship with someone I shouldnāt have been with. Iām seeing that there is more out there in the world. There are people whoād appreciate me the way that I want to be appreciated.ā
āHe reminds me to not be so serious all the time, that there is more to life than just the day-to-day. That itās okay to break routine. To let loose. To be the person that maybe I hold back from being.ā
āI know itās not something we do. But that kiss just now, that changed everything. The relationship is different now. The intensity between us just became heavierā¦hotter. Soā¦strip for me. Get fucking naked.
āScottie, I can tell you right now, that was not a one-time thing. Being inside youā¦that most certainly was not a one-time thing. There is no way I could handle only fucking you once.ā
āI think itās a combination of a bunch of emotions. Sorrow for the woman who spent so much time with him. Joy for the woman whoās no longer with him. Excitement for the woman who just had the absolute best time of her life with a man between her legs.ā
āMy mom was adamant about me and Mika being gentlemen. We took turns opening doors for her and pulling out her chair. She said she didnāt want to be the reason her sons didnāt treat their partners well later in life.ā
āIām sorry. Itās justā¦I donāt know, this is crazy. I just had sex in a lake with a man who has four piercings on his penis. Likeā¦if you had told me a year ago this is what I would be doing, I would have told you you were crazy.ā
āSheās fucking phenomenal in bed. No one compares. Pretty sure I blacked out last nightā¦and this morning.ā
āIf you wonāt strip and show me how fucking beautiful you are, then strip me down. Take off my pants. I know you want to. You want to know what kind of piercing I have. Admit it.ā
āThey probably thought I was a sex fiend and thatās why our marriage wasnāt working, because I wanted to be surrounded by plastic, jiggly prosthetics rather than the jiggly shaft in my husbandās pants.ā
āI mean, I donāt think itās that big a deal that I pulled out your chair. We might not be getting along, but I donāt have to be an asshole and not pull out my wifeās chair for her.ā
āBecause thatās the kind of guy he is. Heās the most humble rich fuck you will ever meet.ā
āTo keep it short and sweet, everyone was bragging about doing something with their significant other this past weekend, and I felt left out, so when it was my turn, I talked about me and my husband. Well, Chad pointed out I wasnāt wearing a ring. I told him we were going through marriage troubles, and thatās when Ellison pulled me to the side. So yeah, he called me out in front of the company. Heās a dick.ā
āThis dresser is a minibar for sex.ā
āIām so attracted to you, Wilder. Really attracted. More than I probably should be. And the moment we kissed, I knew it wouldnāt be the last. I knew I was going to need more.ā
