Joachim, the Swedish guy who refuses to grow up, meets his American opposite. Tom, the guy who had to grow up too fast, finds little amusement in the blond whirlwind who takes life for granted. Thrown together in holy matrimony, as Joachim forgets that he's visiting the US on a tourist visa with an expiry date, the two tip-toe around each other in a weird mating dance. Neither has the intention to take the marriage further than the paper states, but both of them have a sad truth in common that might change their minds. White meets Black, and perhaps there is a chance for gray in between. Maybe.

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.
