Noah has finally got a lead on his brother Max, who had disappeared three years ago after a huge family argument. They had worked for their father David in the world-famous Ramesly Pharmaceuticals, but when a drug trial went wrong, and kids were harmed, Max wanted to make things right, while David is determined to squash any liability... Including blackmailing his own sons into compliance. Max simply left and did not wish to be found. Three years later, Max had just started work at a diner, and Noah, in order to stay close to Max, also started to work at the diner and met the owner Elle. Noah fell for Elle, but Noah is being blackmailed into dating Bethany by his father...
Again, I don't understand the "douchebag father" trope. Evil and abusive, I understand. Blackmail one by threatening another... when the other is the heir made no sense. And the ending barely made any sense...
SPOILER
AHEAD
I WARNED YOU!
Noah called up Michael (big brother), explained that dad David threatened to ruin Michael if Noah does not comply, even though Michael's the heir. Michael's solution is to blackmail dad right back (which itself is basically something never before implied or such) and dad basically laughed "I guess I did raise you right after all, you are ruthless like me." Threat neutralized. Argh! That's unsatisfying. It practically counts as a deus ex machina ending.
