Fake dating, forbidden feelings, and a little Dungeons & Dragons magic!

Riley Morris dreams of directing Broadway musicals, but when her school's spring production gets canceled, she is determined to bring the show back to life. Unfortunately, after taking her mother's car without permission, Riley is grounded and forced to work at her estranged father's gaming store. Desperate to get back to her theatrical ambitions, she strikes a deal with Nathan Wheeler, her nerdy coworker: he'll help cover her shifts, and she'll pretend to be his girlfriend to make his crush jealous. There's just one catch—Riley must join Nathan's Dungeons & Dragons campaign to make their fake relationship believable.

As Riley discovers the unexpected fun of role-playing games, she also begins to see Nathan in a whole new light. Soon, their pretend romance starts feeling surprisingly real, leaving Riley torn between her old ambitions and the possibility of something new.

Funny, heartwarming, and full of geeky charm, Dungeons and Drama is a delightful romantic comedy about unexpected friendships, family relationships, and discovering that the best adventures sometimes happen when you step outside your comfort zone. Perfect for fans of fake dating, theater, and tabletop gaming!
