After being laid off right before the holidays, Betty Highland asks her twin brother Patrick for a place to stay while she gets back on her feet. Unable to help her personally, Patrick suggests she work for his life-long best friend Everett, a recently divorced single father in need of a live-in nanny and housekeeper. Unbeknownst to Patrick, Betty and Everett share a secret past - a teenage fling they've kept hidden for years. They can't reject his idea without revealing their secret, so they agree.
Their new arrangement forces Betty to lead by example for four-year-old Lucy, and forces Everett to face the feelings he's suppressed for so long. Betty and Everett learn just how much (and also how little) can change in one short year.
