The Summer Girlfriend follows Noelle Lewis, who, after her dismissal, works hard to afford her studies. She takes a part-time job as a “stand-in” girlfriend and, in doing so, meets Jeremiah Smith II, heir to a well-known family business.
Jeremiah doesn’t want to go to the family summer house, so he comes up with a summer girlfriend. When he meets Noelle, they make a deal: she plays his girlfriend during the summer. What starts as a practical solution develops into a genuine relationship.
