The suave, Italian Benjamin and artistic, anti-establishment Ashley begin an unlikely romance filled with expensive dinners and impulsive trips, but when Ben abandons Ashley in New York after an intimate night together, Ashley must uncover the truth about Benjamin’s past. Will their relationship last once Ashley discovers the secrets that keeps Ben fun but unattached?
