Ivy Carter's new CEO is Hawthorne Sterling, her ex who left three years prior. He is now her superior. Pressured by Aunt Carter to repay a 600,000 debt, Hawthorne Sterling offers her a deal: he will pay off her debts if she agrees to be with him again. She is unaware this arrangement is part of a three-year plan he has been plotting. As misunderstandings are uncovered, she realizes: in this transaction, the only thing that went out of control was never the money.
