The alarm on Hallie's biological clock is buzzing. She's hitting 30, and there's no prospect of marriage, and no man in sight. Hallie, an organized, goal-setting kind of person, gives herself a year to meet Mr. Knight....in Shining Armor. But all her dates are disasters ; cheapskates through sex-fiends. It's too bad she can't just fall for her good-looking neighbour, Steve Marris, but he's definitely not her type. In any case, Steve is busy trying to win back his ex-wife Mary Lynn, who's busy getting married, but not to Steve. Life would be so much simpler if he could fall for someone else - someone like Hallie?
