A sham marriage leads to genuine romance for a woman who lost everything and a guy who's in debt to a vicious loan shark. Her moving van stolen, Jennifer (Melissa Joan Hart) is left with nothing but three throw pillows and a cardboard box. Meanwhile, thirtysomething charmer Vince (Joey Lawrence) has racked up a rather serious gambling debt. Should he fail to pay up soon, he's likely to wind up crippled for life. Having recently met at the wedding of a mutual friend, Jennifer and Vince surmise that the best way to make some quick cash is to take a trip to the alter themselves. If everything goes as planned, Jennifer will keep the items on the registry, and Vince can avoid becoming a punching bag for a bookie's thugs. Then, they'll have a quickie divorce and everyone will be happy. But in order for the plan to work, they'll have to act like genuine lovebirds. Trouble is, Vince and Jennifer already bicker like a couple that's been married for decades. The closer the wedding gets, however, the more the prospective bride and groom find their fake affections taking on an air of authenticity.
