Lucy Kelson, a brilliant but socially awkward attorney, dedicates her life to fighting against the injustices of real estate development and environmental destruction. Her path crosses with George Wade, a charming and whimsically irresponsible billionaire who heads a development firm notorious for such practices. Despite their differing worldviews, George is taken by Lucy's brilliance and hires her as his chief counsel, not for her legal acumen but to make trivial personal decisions for him, leading to an unconventional professional relationship.

Over time, their interactions evolve into a complex blend of frustration, mutual reliance, and an undefined personal connection. Lucy, however, finds herself emotionally and physically exhausted by George's constant neediness and lack of professional boundaries. Feeling her career and personal values compromised, she decides to submit her two weeks' notice of resignation, sparking a series of events that challenge their understanding of each other and what they truly want in life.
