In this smart and swoony adventure rom-com, a journalist and a movie star find themselves teaming up to cover up a murder... What could possibly go wrong?

When freelance journalist Khin Haymar is assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywood's hottest movie star, it's a dream come true. Tyler has returned home to Yangon to shoot his latest film, and if Khin gets an exclusive, she'll have a chance at securing a permanent position at the magazine.

Tyler is notoriously private and doesn't show any signs of letting down his walls. But then one night on set, a man follows Khin into the park. When he threatens her, Tyler steps in and things escalate - fast. Khin knows they can't go to the police, even if this was self-defence.

As Khin and Tyler work together to hide their secret, Tyler finally starts opening up. And when they find out Khin was targeted specifically, they grow even closer - leaving Khin feeling horribly guilty about her exposé...

Before long, everything hangs in the balance. Will they get away with murder? Will Khin get her dream job? And is she willing to risk Tyler's trust in the process?
