Brandt Wainwright chose American football over the family business and now he's a Super Bowl quarterback. But one day his lucky streak runs out and he crashes his car into a tree. During the long recuperation process, the fun-loving Brandt becomes cranky and sullen - until private nurse Ciara Dennison begins to cheer him up. Ciara has no interest in sports or jocks, but somehow Brandt keeps breaking down her defences, seeing through her facade to the free spirit beneath.
