Being an avid online gamer, Afric O' Connor loves a challenge. Helping Neil Durant reveal himself to the girl he's been catfishing makes for the perfect sidequest. Besides, it's not like she isn't getting something in return. Neil has a head for numbers and Afric's finances are a mess. It's the perfect exchange. She assists him with his love life, and he sorts out her accounts.

As they spend more time together, the arrangement becomes less simple. Afric soon realises that the girl Neil's been trying so hard to win over might not deserve him. And the buttoned up, bespectacled personal assistant she once considered a sidequest has somehow become her main objective.
