Creative Kennedy Brooks has her dream home, her dream job, maybe her dream life, with one glaring exception. The man she's dating is a gold-digger. The evening turns around when she runs into old friend Ian McBride after cutting ties with her greedy ex.

Geeky Ian McBride trudges home from his dream life in New York City. His parents need him, so he reluctantly leaves his life behind in NYC for Prescott, PA. A place he vowed he'd never live again. Now he's here and trying to see the good in his situation.

Good thing he runs into his college buddy Kennedy. Ian and Kennedy soon begin to view each other as more than mere friends… Is love worth it to ruin the friendship?
