A romantic comedy about a publisher and author whose professional entanglement becomes personal, built on the paradox that creative suffering and romantic happiness are at odds.

When a struggling publisher discovers his only successful author is blocked, he knows he has to unblock her or he's finished. With her newfound success, she's become too happy and she can't write when she's happy. The only trouble is, the worse he makes her feel, the more he realizes he's in love with her.
