In a dystopian future where every moment is a spectacle and love is a commodity, 23-year-old Luka Baek is given a choice that could change his life forever.

It’s the year 2047, and with a jail sentence looming over him, Luka reluctantly enters an unscripted dating and relationship competition called "The Desperation Games," a decision that spares him from a grim fate in a work camp. In a society obsessed with voyeurism, where drone cameras capture every action and expression, Luka feels overwhelmed by the sudden attention and the hollow "love" of countless fans. He desperately wants to escape the competition and tries to rebel.

As the games intensify and Viewers celebrate his every move, Luka finds himself unexpectedly captivated by the show's enigmatic lead, Annie Torres. Torn between the allure of fame and the reality of his past, he must confront the ultimate question: in a world where everything can be "entertainment," will Luka embrace his newfound fame and the love from Annie and her fans? Or will he escape back to his not so glamorous reality?
