Jemistry Daniels, the beautiful school principal, has suffered through one bad relationship after another. No wonder she adopted the 'friends with benefits' mentality when it came to men. When Dr Tevin Harris meets Jemistry at a poetry reading in a cafe, he knows from her confessional writing that her past with men has been difficult. The prominent vascular surgeon, who has been only casually dating for years, is attracted to the embittered Jemistry nonetheless. With a little persistence, Tevin convinces Jemistry to go out with him. She has baggage, but so does he.
