In the world of curated perfection, real love is the most dangerous variable.

Materialists follows a luxury matchmaker who has made a name — and a fortune — crafting the illusion of flawless love for Manhattan’s wealthiest singles. She understands desire, leverage, and how to package compatibility like couture.

But when her carefully polished world is disrupted by a passionate entanglement between two polar-opposite lovers, she spirals into a love triangle that threatens her most high-profile clients — and unearths emotional truths she’s long buried under ambition.

As her relationships and reputation begin to collapse, the question emerges:

Can someone who profits off fantasy ever survive reality?
