Connor Meyers, Vice President and COO of Meyers Motors, has always been focused on his job and doing it well. As he is currently working on planning the biggest business meeting of his life, one that will merge his company with one in Japan and earn him the title of CEO, he has no desire for distractions. He only has a few months before his meeting and nothing will make him happier than single-handedly managing this and finally getting his father to retire. Greyson Lewis, on the other hand, is a young college student who enjoys her care-free life in Miami, Florida. Her talkative nature surprisingly managed to land her a job in Meyers Motors, and not just any nine to five. She is told she will gain the title of COO, as partner to the current one. She has no idea what the title means, but her need for a summer gig means she won't pass this up. To say Connor is unhappy about this development is an understatement.
