Beatrice Nilsson storms into attorney Nathan Asher's office with fire in her eyes. Her two closest friends are getting divorced, and she has chosen her side. Nathan represents the other party, and Beatrice plans to tell him exactly what she thinks of his alimony demands. The confrontation should end there, but Nathan appears at her NYU Law office days later as her new colleague and adjunct professor. Beatrice maintains her hatred for Nathan through their required weekly meetings and networking obligations. Yet something shifts during their walks through Washington Square Park and shared late night pizza sessions. Her animosity transforms into feelings she cannot name. When troubling details about the original divorce surface, Beatrice faces an impossible choice. She must decide between protecting her friends' future happiness and pursuing her own unexpected romance with the man she was supposed to despise.
