Unfair exchange?

Veronique Dutot and Burton O'Rourke - each has something the other needs.

Veronique is a talented chef, while Burton happens to need a chef for a new cooking show he's about to produce.

Veronique, on the other hand, needs her visa extended so she can live in Vancouver near her former mother-in-law.

Burton proposes an old-fashioned solution to their very modern problems. A temporary marriage. A marriage of convenience.

Veronique accepts - although there's nothing temporary or convenient about the way she's starting to feel!
