Love in the Time of Likes

Synopsis

Jules Novatech, a 23-year-old influencer with millions of followers, and Nico Montavista, the reluctant heir to a legendary Hollywood studio dynasty, have been raised on opposite sides of a bitter, decade-long feud between their fathers. When they meet by accident at a party and share an instant connection, a stolen kiss goes viral within hours, dragging both families into a public firestorm they never agreed to fight. As the romance deepens in secret, the fallout escalates: Nico's father dumps his company's investments out of pure spite, tanking Novatech's stock, while Jules' father hires a private investigator to dig up dirt on the Montavistas — uncovering a secret bankruptcy the family has been hiding for over a year. Caught between tabloids, a reality-TV producer angling to turn their love story into content, and two fathers more interested in winning an old grudge than their children's futures, Jules and Nico have to decide whether their relationship can survive being turned into a headline.

Refusing to let their parents' pride dictate their lives, Jules and Nico force a reckoning: exposing the hypocrisy on both sides and pushing their families toward an unlikely truce. As the feud thaws, love spreads through the rest of the family tree — sparring cousins and an unlikely best-friend romance both catch fire in the wreckage — while the two patriarchs pivot from rivalry to reluctant partnership. The story builds to a wedding that finally unites both dynasties, and closes on a quieter victory months later: a belated honeymoon where Jules and Nico discover they're expecting their first child, proof that the most real thing either family ever built wasn't a company or a legacy, but each other.
