Twenty-four disastrous dates, three competitive best friends, and one high-stakes wager where falling in love is the ultimate penalty.
Tired of modern dating app misery, Lucy, Jenny, and Nadia gamify their romantic lives with a ruthless corporate scorecard. Spying for paradise and flirting for points becomes their office mantra as they deploy undercover stakeouts to capture proof of the elusive goodnight kiss.
But when Nadia stumbles into an unexpected slow-burn romance with a rugged landscape designer, their tactical spreadsheet begins to crack under real emotion. What started as a competitive office game quickly spirals into an accidental collision of witty banter and genuine vulnerability.
As the scorecard reaches its breaking point, the trio is about to discover that some wagers cannot be won, and the heart refuses to follow a point system. Who will pay for paradise when the final kiss changes everything?
