Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of the first female President of the United States, is the closest thing the U.S. has to a royal. Handsome and charismatic, he has one major problem: a long-standing feud with Britain’s Prince Henry. When a public altercation at a royal wedding ends with a literal "cake-gate," the two are forced into a staged "truce" to save international relations. However, as they spend time together pretending to be friends, their fake relationship evolves into something much deeper, forcing them to navigate the pressures of their public roles while exploring a secret romance that could change both of their countries forever.
