Griffin Dempsey is a mechanic with a secret past. His usual life is an overbearing mother, a fussy sister and a family business, which he is trying to keep afloat, fighting with competitors. The only outlet is playing on a baseball team. Blair Beaufort is a girl with ambitions from a once rich family that failed and went broke. The parents want to force their daughter into marriage, but, not wanting to obey, she dreams of running away from home and finding refuge in a new life with what she thinks is a clear plan. One day she runs away from a debutante ball in a fluffy dress and gets into a small accident at a diner, where Griffin and his friends are vacationing. Trying to support the girl, he offers to help with car repairs and stay with him for the night. Exactly one night. But life can have its own plans.
