Shay Goldstein has been working at a Seattle radio station for ten years and can't imagine working anywhere else. Recently, however, he has been constantly arguing with his new colleague Dominik Yun, who has just finished journalism at university and is convinced that he knows everything best.

However, their station is struggling and needs something new to attract listeners. Shay gets an idea and her boss enthusiastically accepts it. Their new show, called Ex on Air, will feature two people who have dated each other in the past dishing out dating advice. Their boss decides that Shay and Dominik are the most suitable for this role, since they already hate each other and are constantly pushing each other. Neither of them really likes lying to people, but it's their only option to stay on the radio. Listeners quickly fall in love with the show and before long it becomes one of the most popular in Seattle, quickly climbing the popular podcast charts.

However, the more popular the show, the bigger the scam. Especially when Shay and Dominik gradually fall in love. In an industry that values ​​truthfulness so much, disclosure could cost them more than just their careers.
