A light romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and fake-dating tropes, where a struggling waiter poses as an heiress's fiancé to win over her disapproving father.

Carlos has failed in show-biz and currently works as a waiter in a Mexican restaurant. There he meets Alex and dumb footballer Bruce celebrating their engagement with her parents. Alex' father is less than thrilled of her fiancée and says he'd rather accept anybody else. Eventually Alex hires Carlos to present him as her new fiancée.
