This story is set in 2010

One year sober. Two broken stars. A fake relationship that could destroy them both.
Marshall Mathers—hip-hop's most infamous bad boy, teetering on the edge of redemption. Harleen Aldridge—country music's fallen sweetheart, still clawing her way back from rock bottom. Their labels have the perfect solution: a high-profile, PR-manufactured romance to clean up their images and skyrocket their careers.
But what starts as a simple lie quickly turns into something far more dangerous. The lines between real and fake blur with every forced touch, every staged kiss that lingers too long, and every headline that makes them believe their own deception. Secrets unravel. Past wounds reopen. And the very thing meant to save them threatens to consume them instead.
With the weight of the industry, the media, and their own demons closing in—who will crack first?

Marshall Mathers (Eminem)
A rap legend with a razor-sharp tongue and a presence that commands attention. Cold, calculated, and emotionally detached, he keeps his world tightly controlled, trusting few. Sarcastic and brutally honest, he wears his past like armor—sober for a year but still battling the ghosts of his addiction. His intensity is suffocating, his loyalty unwavering, and his reputation as The Reaper makes him both feared and respected. Beneath his hardened exterior, however, is a man struggling with the weight of fame, fatherhood, and the unexpected pull of a woman he was never supposed to care about.
Harleen Aldridge (Harley Quinn)
A country music star with a past that refuses to stay buried. Beautiful, sharp-witted, and stronger than she gives herself credit for, she has spent years rebuilding herself after a public meltdown and addiction battle. She walks through the world with her head high, but the scars of manipulation and control still linger—most of them inflicted by her own mother. Sarcasm is her shield, independence her greatest asset, and yet, when thrown into the chaos of Marshall's world, she finds herself dangerously close to something she swore she'd never allow: vulnerability.
Austin Aldridge (Harleens Brother)
A towering, rugged rodeo champion with a Southern charm and a protective streak that runs deep. Physically imposing but easygoing, he's the kind of man who can throw a punch in one moment and make you laugh in the next. He's Harleen's twin, her anchor, and the only person who has always had her back unconditionally. Quick with a joke but deadly serious when it comes to family, Austin is the kind of man you don't want to cross—especially when it comes to his sister.
Annalise Aldridge (Harleen's Mother)
A master manipulator wrapped in pearls and perfection. Harleen's mother is a woman who thrives on control, pulling the strings of those around her with calculated precision. Cold, poised, and ruthless, she sees her daughter as a product, a brand, something to mold and sell to the highest bidder. Beneath the carefully curated image is a woman who fears losing her grip, and she will stop at nothing to keep Harleen under her thumb.
Aunt Jo ( Harleen's House keeper and Aunt)
The defiant, no-nonsense black sheep of the family who walked away from the Aldridge empire and never looked back. Tough as nails with a heart of gold, she is the only maternal figure Harleen truly trusts. Opinionated, sharp-tongued, and fiercely protective, she stands as a wall between Harleen and the toxicity of their family, always ready to fight for her niece's freedom.
Paul Rosenberg
A strategic, business-minded powerhouse who has been by Marshall's side through every storm. Pragmatic and unshakable, he sees the bigger picture and always moves three steps ahead. The fake relationship between Marshall and Harleen is his brainchild—a means to an end in a world where perception is everything.
Audrey (Harleen's Manager)
A steady hand in Harleen's often chaotic world. She is sharp, perceptive, and knows how to navigate the industry's pitfalls. Protective but professional, she fights for Harleen's career while balancing the fragile line between friendship and business.
Other Cast

Marshall's best friend, producer, and the only person who calls him on his bullshit without hesitation. Always watching, always knowing more than he says.
Royce da 5'9"
Loyal to Marshall to a fault, but also the first to tell him when he's being an idiot. Keeps his circle tight, his words sharper, and his patience thin.
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson
Brash, unpredictable, and unapologetically himself. Treats everything like a game but knows exactly when to get serious.
Kim Scott
The woman who knows Marshall better than anyone, for better or worse. Their past is bloody, broken, and complicated—but it's theirs.
Hailie, Alaina, and Whitney
Marshall's daughters. His entire world, even if he never says it outright. They see more than he realizes, and they don't buy into the bullshit.
