An eight year old girl, Taylor, loses her mother to cancer. Her mother's last wish is that her daughter one day marry for love, finding that 'special magical person' like her own late husband. Some twenty years later, Taylor's life is in turmoil. She has no love life, no money and no job--having been fired from a New York ad agency. Along with her lifelong best friend, Angie, the duo decide to move out of New York and start life anew--in California. When their dilapidated old car breaks down, they're forced to take a bus across country where they meet a boyishly handsome bus driver, Jimmy Bailey. Taylor is smitten, but Angie wants her to go for security instead--like Taylor's new Los Angeles boss, eligible millionaire playboy Scott Thompson.
