There is a boy named Tom who works as a writer at a greeting card company in Los Angeles. One day, he meets Summer Finn, the new assistant to his boss. He is attracted to her since he saw her for the first time. They start their first conversation when they were in the same lift.

Tom has no problem with it as long as he can still have a good relationship with Summer.
The relationship grows well until they come to their first fight because Summer thinks that Tom is over protective to her.
