The Love Hypothesis follows Olive, a third-year biology PhD candidate who panics and kisses a stranger to convince her best friend she's dating — and accidentally recruits hotshot professor Adam Carlsen as her fake boyfriend. What begins as a controlled experiment in romantic deception grows increasingly difficult to manage as a major science conference puts Olive's career at risk and Adam's support turns out to be genuine. Research culture, slow-burn tension, and the limits of hypothesis-driven self-protection.
