 New York whiz-kid chef PAUL ALTIERI s dream of opening his own restaurant is in serious jeopardy. Working in the kitchen of a theme restaurant, he can barely pay the rent. Enter older brother VINCE, a successful dentist and married man -- with a very odd proposal. He offers to give Paul the money he needs to get his restaurant off the ground, but with one major catch...Paul must marry Vince s Peruvian mistress, ELENA, in an effort to secure her US citizenship and keep her in the country. Recognizing the chance to fulfill his lifelong dream, Paul begrudgingly accepts Vince s offer and weds Elena with little fanfare at New York s City Hall. Married life proves to be more than Paul bargained for as Elena moves in and immediately disrupts his normal routine. But something strange happens as they struggle to put up a convincing front for the INS and even his family. This fake marriage turns into something very real. But before the two can act on their feelings, the rug is pulled out from under them. Vince s wife discovers the truth about the secret relationship and asks for a divorce. The charade is over and Vince now wants Elena back. But at the grand opening of Paul s restaurant, in front of Paul and Vince s entire family, Elena decides she should be home. Where that is, only her heart can tell her.
