Sydney can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate guitar music he plays every evening. As the music swells, they soon find themselves needing each other in unexpected ways. Maybe Not: Warren needs a roommate. Enter cold, calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory: anyone who can hate with such passion must also have the capability to love with such passion. Will Bridgette find herself finally able to love?
