Some opposites attract; some rip each others clothes off. Stormy-Rain and Marcus are polar opposites: she's a free-spirited, Tarot card reading, rainbow-haired hippie; he wears a suit and tie, and over-shines his already too-shiny shoes.

The clock is ticking...and they are seriously ticking each other off. But they're about to discover just how thin the line is between love and hate.
