She has just left New York City after finding out her fiancΓ© cheated on her two weeks before the wedding. Chicago is Sidney's chance to start again with a new life and a new job. She has her own strong ideas as to what constitutes an ideal man. Sidney is looking for relationship material; and the smooth-talking stranger in the coffee shop falls far short of her ideals.
Thirty minutes later, Sidney meets her sister Isabelle and her boyfriend Simon for dinner, to hear the big announcement that they are getting married. Who should she find sitting at the table with them but Vaughn, who just happens to be Simon's brother. Sidney and Vaughn are each asked to stand up for their siblings; so they are looking at three months of being thrown together a good deal before the wedding. So begins the 'dance' between a prickly woman who has sworn off the wrong kind of man; and a charmer who is still looking for fun and nowhere near ready to settle down. What follows is a battle of two strong wills; a man using his considerable charm to make a woman fall for him, and a woman who will have none of him. Will Sidney fall for the roguish and cocky Vaughn's allure, or will he come to heel as ideal relationship material?
