A light romantic comedy about a secretary and her irresponsible novelist boss who clash and eventually fall for each other, touching on marriage and maturity along the way.

A budding young writer thinks it's her lucky day when she is chosen to be the new secretary for Owen Waterbury, famous novelist. She is soon disppointed, however, when he turns out to be an erratic, immature playboy. Opposites attract, of course, but not without sub-plots that touch on competitiveness within marriage and responsibility.
