summary: The agent of not-so-successful screenwriter Emma, who's been taking care of her father for the last ten years, finds her a job helping to fix the rotten rom-com screenplay attempt of her favorite writer, multi-award-winning Charlie. Unfortunately for this job opportunity, the agent hasn't told Charlie, who doesn't want a co-writer. The two writers end up living together while they rewrite the wretched script. Love ensues.
