Linc Miller, a chronically unlucky young man from the bottom rung of society, unexpectedly catches the favor of an angel and gains a bizarre ability: the worse his luck, the luckier he becomes. He first stumbles upon a wanted criminal and collects a bounty, then is hired by Olivia Rothschild, the daughter of a Wall Street financial tycoon, to pose as her boyfriend in order to resist a family‑arranged marriage. To successfully enter the Rothschild family, Linc must pass three brutal tests set by Olivia’s father, Jackson Rothschild: a physical duel, a stock market battle, and a test of true intention. Relying on his strange luck and sincere character, he overcomes each obstacle, finally passes the trials, and turns his fake relationship with Olivia into true love.
