When careful, cheerful Bailey meets Charlie on a flight from Alaska, where she grew up, to Nebraska, where she and her mom would be living after her parents' divorce, she can't stand the cynical and obnoxiously opinionated stranger. So she's more than a little surprised when the two wind up working at the same hotel three years later, and they actually get along with each other. They soon find themselves arguing over the belief that members of the opposite sex can't be just friends, but things get complicated when Bailey recruits Charlie in her ploy to drive away her mother's new boyfriend, and Charlie finds himself actually falling for Bailey.
