What is the plot of ‘Beautiful Disaster’?

Abby Abernathy is a freshman with a dark past who must avoid bad boy Travis Maddox at all costs. Travis enjoys fighting in underground boxing matches at night along with being the ultimate college charmer during the day.

Despite her evident attraction to Travis, Abby is determined to have nothing to do with him and continues to reject his charms. Amused by her resistance, he proposes a simple bet: if he loses his next fight, he must avoid having sex for a month. If he wins, Abby must live in his apartment for a comparable period. Travis has no idea about Abby's dark past, and this bet might make things come undone.

 ‘Beautiful Disaster’ will release in theaters on April 12.
