Kat Matthews believes life is an adventure to be taken at leisure. When vacationing with her mother in Vale Colorado she meets an eccentric rich couple who have a bizarre proposition. They want to hire her to date their son. And not just date him. They want her to train him in how to date so he'll continue doing so afterward. As payment they dangle a once in a lifetime opportunity in front of Kat-the chance to have her photographs seen by the owner of the most prestigious art gallery in New York.
Dr. Victor Richmond is as distracted with work as he is smart. He doesn't make time for women or dating. When Kat walks into his building he just assumes she's his assistant. The man's clothes are a mess his beard is too long and he looks like he's been up for days. And to make matters worse-he's a bug scientist.
