Siapa yang mau nikah kontrak sama pria dingin, arogan, dan nyebelin? Tentu saja bukan Saira orangnya! Tapi nasib berkata lain. Demi menyelamatkan keluarganya dari jeratan utang yang menumpuk, dia harus menikah kontrak dengan Dava Arya Pratama—CEO muda yang terkenal kejam dan tidak percaya cinta. Bagi Dava, cinta hanyalah bualan semata. Sebab dia memiliki trauma besar yang membuatnya menutup diri dari hubungan serius. Tapi sebagai anak sulung keluarga Pratama, dia terus didesak untuk segera menikah. Namun demi menenangkan keluarganya, dia memilih pernikahan kontrak sebagai solusi. Sementara Saira? Sebagai anak sulung dari keluarga yang terlilit utang—ditambah usianya yang hampir menginjak kepala tiga, dia tidak punya pilihan. Awalnya Naira, adik Saira, yang ingin orang tuanya nikahkan, tapi gadis itu menolak mati-matian. Sedangkan Saira yang selama ini setengah mati banting tulang melunasi utang tersebut, mau tidak mau harus mengorbankan diri. Berbeda dengan Naira, penolakan dari Saira tak pernah didengar. Mulanya dia pikir ini hanya nikah kontrak biasa—tinggal bersama, saling menjaga reputasi, lalu bercerai jika waktunya telah habis. Tapi ternyata hidup satu rumah bersama Dava itu bencana! Saira yang dulu lemah dan selalu mengalah, lama-lama muak juga dengan sifat cuek pria berusia 32 tahun itu. Dan yang lebih ngeselin? Justru Saira yang dibuat jatuh hati! Namun Dava? Dia tetap dingin, tetap sulit digapai. Katanya, cinta itu tidak penting. Katanya, Saira cuma istri kontraknya. Tapi ... kenapa dia mulai cemburu kalau Saira dekat dengan pria lain? Kenapa dia mulai peduli tiap dia kesusahan? Katanya tidak percaya cinta, kok sekarang mulai mengejar Saira? Yang lebih parah? Naira ternyata menyukai Dava. Dan Saira tidak tahu lagi harus menghadapi situasi ini seperti apa. Bencana, ‘kan?
