Maddie Kingston quits her job and returns home to North Carolina after her father has a stroke and attempts to save the the family's shoe company. In order to do this she's willing to spend every dime she possesses to buy self-made billionaire Nick Holter in a charity auction where she will use the weekend to take him back home to North Carolina and convince him to help save her family's business and the jobs of many.
When Nick realizes it's his ex-girlfriend Maddie that has won the weekend with him he is not happy about it. He has been avoiding all of Maddie's phone call because he has no intention of helping the family that destroyed his grandfather's career. Nick feels he owes his grandfather after everything his grandfather did for him. Now that he is able to give his grandfather back what he lost he plans to take away Maddie's family business. Even though Maddie still has feelings for Nick, she will do whatever she has to in order to help her family.
Nick's plans of revenge change once he learns of Maddie's father's illness. He also still has feelings for Maddie from their time together years ago. But the old family feud stands between them.
Maddie, her family and Nick are shocked when his grandfather reveals the reason behind they long time feud between their families.
