Blair Hawthorne is a reporter for one of the city's biggest gossip magazines, with dreams of making it big.
She's tasked by her boss to gather information on Thomas Bishop, an eligible bachelor who has enough money to buy a small country.
She lies in wait to see him mess up and get pushed into the spotlight for the expose of the decade. Then, she thinks of what she could accomplish if she tries courting him.
Blair begins her experiment to see if he'll fess up to anything juicy. At first, he's just her mark, but after spending time with Thomas, she finds herself developing real feelings for him. Misunderstandings abound, but there might just be a happy ending in store for the two of them.
