Rafe Ferreira, the spoilt son of an Italian millionaire, is banished to a small town for his troublesome behaviour. In his final year in a new school, he has one year and one chance to prove to his father that he is not a hopeless case and is a worthy heir to a fortune. Nora Fujioka is a small-town girl whose head is only filled with getting good grades. Her hard, no-nonsense attitude to studying makes her a social recluse and a major geek in school. She also happens to be the one person who can genuinely help Rafe. Initially, it doesn't help that they are polar opposites. She thinks he's an ungrateful slob. He thinks she's a mean stuck-up. But they learn more from each other than they originally bargained for.
