When Caroline's company gains the business of Adriano De Luca, the new CEO of Pharaoh Co. and her old childhood best friend, the once school nerd turned real-world genius, tries to capture the attention of the once school all-star athlete, an athlete who wants anything but a relationship.
How far will one go to make their old friend their new lover?
