What do you do if your abusive ex-boyfriend is stalking you?

If you are Jennifer Blakely, you enter into a fake relationship with your next door neighbor and best friend from childhood, Adam Thompson. Adam, who plays for the NFL and is staying with his parents for a bit. As Jennifer finds the strength to stand up to her ex and the political power his family wields in her town, she realizes that the boy next door may be the only one that can touch her heart.

Adam had returned to Shoreton Point to consider offers from four football teams now that his contract with the LA Tigers has ended. When he meets Jennifer’s stalker, to protect her he claims they are dating. When he learns the full extent of the harassment, he offers to continue with the ruse to protect her. When long buried feelings begin to emerge, Adam must evaluate his priorities, considering the next steps for his NFL career, and whether it will let him stay close or take him far from home... and Jennifer.
