Leah Olivar grew up in a very poor, but happy
family. When she was 12 years old, her mother Rona goes to the United States to
work for their family's better future. Life eventually becomes better for Leah,
her sister, Tiffany, and their father, Sol . However, a tragedy
changes their lives forever. For Leah, Rona's death creates a desire for her to
go to the America and fulfill her mother's "American dream".
Ten years later, this dream comes true as Leah gets her
visa to compete in a choir competition in San Francisco, California. After the
contest, Leah extends her stay in San Francisco with the intention of visiting
her mother's grave, and to find a way to legally work in the United States.
However to her surprise, Leah does not find her mother's grave, and as her visa
expires, finding a job that will allow her to remain in the United States also
becomes elusive.
With the urging of Jack, the mother of Leah's ex-boyfriend,
Jigs , and out of desperation, Leah agrees to a marriage of
convenience so that she can get her visa. But with Leah's limited
resources, it will be hard for Jack to find her a partner. The only suitable
person that would agree to the small amount that Leah is willing to pay is
Jack's nephew, Clark , who has been living in San Francisco for the past
11 years. His life has been full of heartbreaks as he went to the United States
with his mother, Ofelia , to be introduced to his American father, Kenneth.
Soon after, Kenneth refuses to recognize Clark as his son, and Ofelia suddenly
dies. Clark gets placed into foster homes, where he was abused. Later, because
of his love for his siblings in the Philippines, Clark persevered and survived
in the U.S. These misfortunes and responsibilities in life deprived Clark of
romantic love.
Despite their disastrous first meeting, Leah and Clark
spend time as a fake couple and learn about each other's past, quirks and
habits in order to pass the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
interview. As time passes, Leah and Clark discover a certain fondness for each
other. They also realize that both have the same goals in life and that is to
make a better life for their family.
They also start to sympathize with each other, as both
reveal their deepest secrets. Soon, the sham marriage between Leah and Clark
becomes real.
