When they meet, their first thought is that they can take advantage of each other: she dates him to provoke her parents and to get them to fund her dream to train as a chef in New York; he wants to rip off the rich girl to finance his first professional boxing match. However, feelings will get in the way of their respective plans and challenge everything they think they know about money, their career and love...
