When his mother becomes the first female President of the United States, Alex Claremont-Diaz is thrust into the global spotlight as America's First Son. Handsome and charismatic, he's a marketing dream for the White House, save for one crucial detail: his simmering feud with Prince Henry of Wales. After a disastrous tabloid-worthy altercation at a royal wedding, their respective families and handlers orchestrate a fake truce to mend U.S./British relations. What begins as a staged, Instagrammable friendship soon deepens into a secret, passionate romance that neither Alex nor Henry anticipated. Their clandestine relationship risks derailing a presidential re-election campaign and potentially creating an international scandal. As they navigate their feelings amidst immense public scrutiny, they are forced to confront questions of identity, duty, and whether their love can truly conquer all, challenging diplomatic norms and proving that true love is rarely straightforward.
