When Ava Nickerson was a child her mother jokingly betrothed her to a friend''s son and the contract the parents made has stayed safely buried for years. Now that still-single Ava is closing in on thirty no one even remembers she was once engaged to the Markowitz boy. But when their mother is diagnosed with cancer Ava''s prodigal little sister Lauren comes home to Los Angeles where she stumbles across the decades-old document. Frustrated and embarrassed by Ava''s constant lectures about financial responsibility (all because she''s in a little debt. Okay a lot of debt) Lauren decides to do some sisterly interfering of her own and tracks down her sister''s childhood fiancé. When she finds him the highly inappropriate twice-divorced but incredibly charming Russell Markowitz is all too happy to re-enter the Nickerson sisters'' lives and always-accountable Ava is forced to consider just how binding a contract really is. .
