Georgia Cummings no tiene suerte con las citas, y no importa lo mucho que lo intente, no es capaz de encontrarle la gracia a ese extraño universo alternativo donde los hombres piensan que enviarle la foto de un pene es el equivalente a mantener una conversación para conocer a una mujer.

Kline Brooks parece el chico malo por excelencia: pelo oscuro, corto y bien peinado, músculos de acero y una sonrisa que te vuelve loca. Y por si eso no fuera suficiente, es billonario.
