Philosophy student Mary Rose is working as a receptionist at Hill Realty to pay her overdue tuition. While absorbed in Nietzsche, she makes a major blunder in an ad campaign. With her bizarrely yellow-toothed boss's face plastered on the side of every streetcar in downtown Toronto, Mary is forced to beg for her minimum-wage job. Rule-bending, top-selling agent Eli Klassen has escaped from his family's home-skooling, End-Times cult and he only wants two things-to leave his past behind and to date Mary. When their boss assigns Mary to be Eli's protegee as punishment for her negligence, Mary learns hard lessons in Eli's School of Life, from how to drive a luxury sports car without stalling to the real-world definitions of desire and love.
