Holly is tired of moving every time her mom Jean breaks up with yet another second-rate guy. To distract her mother from her latest bad choice, Holly conceives the perfect plan for the perfect man, an imaginary secret admirer who will romance Jean and boost her self-esteem.

Tired of her single mother, Jean, moving the family to a new city every time she suffers a bad breakup, teenager Holly Hamilton decides to take control of the situation. To keep her mother happy and avoid another move, Holly creates a secret admirer persona for her mother, exchanging emails and gifts under the name "Ben." As her mother's confidence blossoms and she begins to fall for the fictional man, Holly finds herself caught in a complex web of lies, struggling to maintain the charade while managing her own life and a budding relationship of her own.
