Kyoya Ootori is living in Washington DC, getting his doctorate in economics when his father asks him to meet Laney Johnson, a fourth year medical student whose family is considering making an alliance with the Ootoris. The couple is given 6 months to decide whether a marriage would be acceptable to them. Could this be love, or just business as usual?
