Kirana Andini tahu cara menjaga sebuah cerita tetap utuh. Sebagai script supervisor, ia terbiasa menemukan kesalahan sekecil apapun dalam sebuah adegan. Namun, ia tidak pernah menyangka bahwa kebohongan paling rumit dalam hidupnya akan datang dalam bentuk kontrak lima miliar rupiah. Sio, aktor Korea yang memiliki julukan The Chameleon, datang ke Jakarta untuk membintangi film kolaborasi Indonesia-Korea. Ia mampu menjadi siapa saja di depan kamera, tetapi kesulitan memahami perasaannya sendiri di luar peran. Ketika sebuah skandal mengancam kariernya, Kiana justru terseret menjadi bagian dari sandiwara yang dirancang untuk menyelamatkan citranya. Enam bulan berpura-pura menjadi kekasih Sio, tinggal serumah, sekaligus menjadi pelatih akting pribadinya. Bagi Kirana, kesepakatan itu hanyalah pekerjaan dengan bayaran fantastis yang bisa menyelamatkan keluarganya dari lilitan utang. Ia punya aturan sederhana, yaitu tidak ada perasaan, tidak ada janji, tidak ada alasan untuk mempercayai pria yang hidupnya dipenuhi dengan kepura-puraan. Namun, semakin lama mereka bersama, semakin sulit Kirana membedakan mana adegan yang mereka mainkan dan mana perasaan yang tumbuh tanpa izin. Sio yang selama ini mempelajari cinta melalui karakter perlahan menemukan sesuatu yang tak pernah bisa diajarkan oleh naskah mana pun. Ketika kebohongan mereka terancam terbongkar, Kirana harus menghadapi pertanyaan yang jauh lebih rumit daripada sekadar apakah ia mampu berpura-pura mencintai Sio. Bagaimana jika cinta yang paling ingin ia hindari justru menjadi satu-satunya hal yang tidak pernah bisa ia kendalikan? Karena di dunia tempat semua orang memainkan peran, jatuh cinta mungkin bukan bagian tersulitnya. Yang lebih sulit adalah mengetahui kapan seseorang sedang berakting dan kapan ia benar-benar memilihmu.

"Ser, he's getting married next month." Nadira mengatakannya pelan, di tengah dinginnya Berlin yang menyusup dari balik jendela kafe.

Sera menunduk, menyembunyikan sesuatu yang mendadak terasa sesak di dadanya. Di luar sana, Berlin tetap indah seperti biasa. Hanya saja, kali ini, kota itu terasa lebih dingin dari sebelumnya.
