Coco is a psychologist who specializes in magical disfunction. When she gets invited to attend a demon courtroom hearing her world changes forever. Vale has no idea how lucky he got that she was there. Because of her quick thinking she gets him off with 90 days probation. Of course, they both lie in court to achieve this. Coco met Vale the night before when he came back to his hometown after making his first movie. He was supposed to be there for an interview. The interviewer shows up over an hour late. Then she meets his high school bully & principal of his former school. The bully ends up hijacking the interview in order to air all Vale's dirty laundry, so to speak. Of course, everything the guy says is a lie. After a terrible day Vale heads to a bar. There he gets drunk & meets Coco.
Coco comes from a close family, wasn't poor like Vale growing up. Cocos mom is a world famous psychologist. And her dad is an biologist. Both her parents had good careers but are retired now. Coco was basically forced into psychology by her mother. It doesn't help that Coco is a people pleaser. She's not good at telling a lie. And she keeps a lot of her insecurities from her mother. Coco doubts herself too much!. She keeps comparing herself to her mom. She starts a practice to help demons & other supernaturals. Unfortunately, she can't get her customers to open up to her. Until Vale comes stumbling over to her table to tell her why her patient's aren't opening up to her.
Sitting in the court hearing Vale's crime makes Coco want to help him. She decides to pretend to be his spouse. She couldn't bare him being in jail. He just wants to get out of town. However, the judge gave him an ankle bracelet (the demon version) and tells him not to go out of the county for 90 days. They decide to make a bargain with that will benefit them both. The rest of the story is them making the situation work. What neither expected was to fall in love. The lies keep piling up. Coco finally confesses the truth to her mom who shows up unannounced. Coco gets scared & knows her relationship can go nowhere. She pushes him away & he goes back to LA. He wanted to stay with her. Did she do the right thing though? She learns things about him that change her mind. But is she too late?
