Charlie hates few things in life more than she hates her next door neighbor, Sebastian Santiago. Maybe it's his arrogance, or his intelligence, or his good looks, or the fact that Charlie's grandparents sometimes seem to like him more than they like her. Either way, she thinks Newport Beach would be a better place without him, and becoming his friend seems as unlikely as snowfall in Southern California. However, when one drunken mistake at a party causes them to come together in the most unexpected of ways, Charlie thinks it's best they forget they ever locked lips, but Sebastian finds he's falling for the controlling girl next door and will do anything to get her to admit she's falling for him too.
