Plot
Jaci van Jaarsveld (Alexander), a self-confessed workaholic, will do everything in her power to ensure that the advertising company she works for is not taken over by JP Basson (Panagio), a ruthless businessman known as "The Jackal". Her only hope is in securing a valuable contract from a wine estate wanting to market their wines internationally. The winegrower, however, makes it clear that the person who is to market his wines must be in a stable romantic relationship. Out of desperation, Jaci decides to hire a model to act as her fiancé during a meeting with the winegrower, only to have him invite her and her "fiancé" to his wine farm in the Cape Winelands, where she will have to compete for the contract against another company, led by her ex-fiance, Markus Rossouw. Just as Jaci starts feeling as if she is in control of the situation, she discovers that her feigned fiancé is actually the very same "Jackal" she was trying to prevent from taking over the company she works for.
