Through a 'live-in nanny wanted' advertisement, she gets an opportunity to work for a physician, Dominic Shaw, 36. His daughter, Emerald, a two-year-old girl who needs caring and nurturing. Skylar hopes her job with Shaw provides her with enough money to stay afloat and help her get through college.

But through heated gazes and intense tension between the two, Skylar often wonders how or if this is worth it.
