It's better to know nothing of what you've heard than to know anything of what's been said. ************************************** Overwhelmed by her grandmother's guilt, Josie Anderson lives a life she would not have chosen for herself. Isolated from the world, Josie cares for her grandmother instead of exploring her own life alongside her College friends. When her grandmother's health demands more than Josie can provide her grandmother must move to live with family in another country. This leaves Josie with newfound freedom as well as a predicament. Confused and at a loss for words, Josie turns to her grandma's best friends who advise her to take on a babysitting job with their son, Adrian Rossi. They're two different types of people and Josie doesn't know how to handle Adrian's bizarre personality. With awkward moments and tension-filled conversations, Adrian and Josie explore the differences in each other that can either break them apart or bring them closer together.
