For Ruby, the path is not easy as she has to complete her graduation from Maxton Hall College and get her letter of recommendation, which will be her golden ticket to her dreams.

Hardung plays the role of James Beaufort, the rich, spoiled millionaire for whom money is the only language that allows him to have his way until he meets Ruby.
After Ruby thrashes James for covering up for his sister, he tries to make her life a living hell in Maxton Hall by pulling embarrassing pranks that even get Ruby’s letter of recommendation in a tight spot. However, what starts as a silly prank evolves into an unexpected romance.
