Ruby is a smart and ambitious scholarship student at the prestigious Maxton Hall private school, where she is constantly reminded of her lower social status by the wealthy and snobbish students. Despite the challenges she faces, Ruby remains focused on her studies and dreams of attending a top university.
One day, while wandering the halls of Maxton Hall, Ruby accidentally witnesses a secret involving James Beaufort, the arrogant and troublemaking heir to the Beaufort family fortune. James is determined to keep the secret under wraps and approaches Ruby with a proposition - he will help her with her studies in exchange for her silence.
As Ruby and James spend more time together, their initial animosity towards each other slowly turns into mutual respect and maybe even something more. Despite their differences in social status, they find themselves drawn to each other in unexpected ways.
However, as their relationship deepens, they must navigate the complexities of their worlds colliding and the consequences of their growing feelings for each other. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way, or will their differences ultimately tear them apart?
