Aspiring writer Kelsey and her best friend Brandon have been inseparable, platonic companions since kindergarten. When Kelsey is accepted to her dream university, she leaves Brandon behind to forge a new life for herself. In short order, she's installed as editor for her college paper. However, when Kelsey lands herself in hot water as a result of making a pass at her publisher's boyfriend, she's forced to find her own way out of a mess, for the first time in her life, without Brandon's help.
