Olive Torres is accustomed to being the 'unlucky twin' – her life often feels like a magnet for comical misfortune, culminating in a recent layoff. Her sister, Ami, is the polar opposite: effortlessly lucky and even managed to fund her wedding through a series of contest wins. Unfortunately for Olive, the wedding also means enduring the presence of Ethan Thomas, the best man and her sworn nemesis. However, fate takes an unexpected turn when the entire wedding party, save for Olive and Ethan, succumbs to severe food poisoning. With a lavish, all-expenses-paid Hawaiian honeymoon suddenly up for grabs, Olive is determined not to let Ethan enjoy paradise alone. They strike an uneasy truce, agreeing to pose as loving newlyweds for ten days in Maui. What begins as a strategic move quickly blurs the lines between pretense and reality. As Olive embraces the role of the 'luckiest woman alive,' she starts to wonder if this fake honeymoon might actually lead to genuine feelings, challenging everything she thought she knew about luck, love, and her infuriatingly charming rival.
