Synopsis

Savannah Greene enters The Baking Games with a clear goal: win the $200,000 prize and secure her sister’s future. But her plan quickly crumbles when she discovers the competition includes her ex-boyfriend, Connor, who still harbors a grudge, and Rhett Jennings, her biggest rival from culinary school. Thrown together in a luxurious mansion under the constant gaze of cameras, Savannah finds herself part of an unexpected plot twist—a fake relationship with Rhett to boost their popularity with viewers. As they navigate this pretend romance, the lines between reality and performance blur. Rhett's unexpected defense against Connor's sabotage stirs doubts about his true intentions. Is his growing warmth genuine, or just another strategy to win? With each challenge, Savannah's resolve is tested not just by her baking skills but also by the tangled web of feelings developing around her. Rhett's consistent support and moments of vulnerability make her question if there’s more to their connection than just the game. As the competition intensifies, so does the relationship, pushing Savannah to reconsider what she truly desires. Amidst the strategic alliances and fake romances crafted for viewer ratings, Savannah forges a genuine bond with Maggie, a 65-year-old contestant who becomes like the mother she never had. Maggie's wisdom and warmth offer a haven from the cutthroat atmosphere, grounding Savannah as she navigates the murky waters of trust within the mansion. As the grand finale looms, Savannah must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart along with her culinary dreams. Caught between a potential new love and the prize that promises a better future for her sister, Savannah faces a choice that could change everything. Is her connection with Rhett just a well-crafted façade, or could it be the most authentic thing she's ever baked up?
