Handsome, 27-year old, Nate Hardman is a frontline reporter with a big problem. Suffering from shell-shock and unable to leave his house, he's already lost his social life and his girlfriend. Now his career prospects are sinking fast. 9 year-old Adam Boxley who lives alone with his ageing nan, also has big problems. Neglected at home and bullied at school, he's desperate to reach out to his dad - and that's when he sends his first letter to Nate. Only Nate's not who he thinks he is. Will he help? More importantly - can he? Across town meanwhile, caring but impulsive teacher Jenna Tierney really wants to help Adam - except the feisty redhead has already had enough of teaching. Recently hurt by yet another cheating boyfriend, Jenna's now set her sights on pursuing a dream career abroad ... only she's about to meet Nate - her dream man who'll make her re-think everything. The big question is; can three people desperate to find love, ever find happiness when they're only connected by one big lie?
