24 year old Ava Castellano is an impulsive, disorganized, temperamental journalist whose smart-mouth is incorrigible and who is most times- if not always, late. Her world, however, takes a huge dive when she has to interview her childhood nemesis, Caleb A. Wyatt, an artist whose art pieces have been gaining major recognition. Caleb A. Wyatt is the successful 26 year old architectural and engineering co-manager of Wyatt's Inc and also an artist whose creations are nothing less than spectacular. Unlike Ava, he has a fetish for perfection- or is it a phobia of imperfection? Hmm. Anarchy is immediately rekindled between the two when they reunite. Caleb is going half mad with this walking embodiment of chaos and wits, and Ava is repulsed by Caleb's need for perfection & control. But there's more to each than they both thought they knew or let on; and individually they try to disarm the other. It's all a game. Until it's not. Will this end in disaster or will it be beautiful chaos?
