Plot Synopsis

Thirty-year-old graduate student Becca Howard hasn't quite grown up yet. She is perpetually late to class, a little bit of a mess, always changes her major, never stays in a relationship for more than six months, and regularly dodges questions from her thesis adviser. On the opposite end of the spectrum is Nate Williams, a widow who is meticulous and organized about his daily routines and taking care of his daughter, Emily, who's been depressed since her mother died. Becca crosses paths with Emily while assisting with her fourth grade class in hopes of thesis inspiration. During their time together, Becca helps Emily come out of her shell and cope with her loss, and Emily teaches Becca more about grown up responsibility. When a romance develops between Becca and Emily's father Nate, they must learn to balance their new relationship with his responsibility to Emily and Becca's responsibility to finish her education.
