Fake Dating the Ice King
One punch turned the campus “Ice King” into a national pariah and now the only person who can save his career is the girl who wants to see him fail.
Leo Thorne had it all: captaincy, NHL scouts, and a reputation as untouchable. But when a rival player targets a wound that never healed, Leo snaps. The viral footage labels him a violent liability, and his future begins to collapse.
Maya Ellison, a cynical film student, avoids everything Leo represents. To her, athletes are entitled, and he’s the worst. But when her senior project funding is threatened, she’s forced into a deal: direct a reality-style redemption vlog to fix Leo’s image.
The catch? To humanize the fallen star, the show scripts a fake romance, casting Maya as the girlfriend.
Navigating choreographed dates and meddling producers, Maya and Leo trade barbs behind the scenes while playing the perfect couple for the cameras.
Yet, as the masks slip, Maya discovers the grief behind Leo’s rage. In a world where every kiss is for ratings, they must decide if their connection is a performance or the only real thing left.
