Actress Natalie Keane wants protection from a renewed threat without another public spectacle built around her fear. Bodyguard Taylor Vaughn needs a route back into the work she loves after an injury has kept her sidelined. The solution is discreet security disguised as a relationship: Taylor will accompany Natalie as her girlfriend, allowing her to stay close without advertising the danger. The arrangement appears convincing from the start, but the time they spend together begins changing what either woman understands as performance. Amid professional obligations and the pressures of celebrity, Natalie and Taylor must navigate an intimacy that is becoming real within a situation designed to keep the truth hidden.
