The spoilt son of an Italian tycoon, Rafe Ferreira, is banished to a small town for his terrible behaviour. In his final year in a new school, he has one year and one chance to prove to his father that he is not a hopeless case.
Norah Fujioka is a small town girl whose head is only filled with getting good grades. Her no nonsense attitude to studying makes her a social recluse and a geek in school. She is also the one person who can truly help Rafe.
Initially, it doesn't help that they are polar opposites. She thinks he's an ungrateful slob. He thinks she's a mean stuck-up.
But they learn more from each other than they originally bargained for.
