Noah is a hard-working writer for a top-selling magazine in New York City who is one flop away from being fired. He fears he's reaching the crash of his career when he stumbles across an idea for an article that might change the direction of his path.
Abby Drewman's life has been turned upside down since her father's passing. Her father was an artist who had one hit piece in his career. Despite his success, he was most famous for one thing in his small town: being Abby's dad and a small-town hero.
Noah is in search of the truth behind the mystery artist and his art, and Abby is in search of a way to navigate life after the passing of her only blood-family. Due to their roots and different sets of priorities, the two are unlikely friends. But with Noah's persistence and Abby's desperation to move on, the two find they may have more in common than they think.

However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy.
