Secret streamer unknowingly charms her friend's mob-boss dad.
Mave, a plus-size NYU student, escapes relentless body-shaming by streaming games under a stolen photo and softened voice. A viewer named Wolf becomes obsessed, drowning her in gifts and pledging canine devotion. When he demands a real-life meeting, panic drives her to cut ties and disappear. Half a year later, she moves into her best friend's mansion and comes face-to-face with Rocco Moretti, New York's most feared mafia don. He is Wolf, and though he has never seen her face, he would recognize that voice instantly.
