Change of Heart

Erin Stewart hires a date to help her navigate her parents' anniversary celebration, hoping a convincing companion will make five days of family tension easier to manage. Actor Steph Mitchell seems well suited to the role, but the attraction Erin feels is an immediate complication. Maintaining the appearance of romance becomes difficult when the performance starts to feel emotionally real. Against the Scottish Highlands setting, family expectations and private desire begin pulling the arrangement in directions neither woman can comfortably control. This fake-dating romance explores the gap between a relationship designed for an audience and one that might survive without it, as Erin must confront what she actually wants from the woman she hired.
