Shay Goldstein has devoted nearly a decade to her Seattle public radio station, and she can't imagine working anywhere else. But when Dominic Yun—a freshly minted journalism graduate who thinks he knows it all—joins the team, her world is turned upside down. Their clashing personalities ignite sparks neither of them want to acknowledge.

The show becomes an instant hit, captivating listeners and climbing the podcast charts. But as the lines between pretend and reality blur, Shay and Dominic find themselves entangled in a web of lies—and unexpected feelings.

In a world where authenticity is everything, how long can they keep up the façade? And what will happen when the truth threatens to unravel everything they've built?
