In the midst of surviving day-to-day life in the famous "City That Never Sleeps", southern-born Payton Cooper becomes a little too attached to an overconfident, rich girl known as Kate Bishop. Unknown to Payton herself, Kate is a need, like oxygen is for any life form. As they go through trials and tribulations, their newly-forged 'alliance' turns into something Payton will never be able to shake -even if it meant disowning her family because of their differences.
