Romance

Taylor Jennings, 28 years old and working as an assistant to one of New York's finest and wealthiest hoteliers, has had enough of the downs of life. From the moment she was seventeen, after being abandoned by the very person she left her family for, being stranded and almost constantly assaulted in an unknown state, she had managed to convince herself that she was cursed, especially in the romance department. The perky and outgoing person everyone knew her to be was just a front to cover up how she truly felt – depressed, angry and lonely. She tries her best to not dwell on her lack of family love and single life by associating more with her friends and being diligent at work but even that couldn't stop her from being depressed the one time in the year that love and family were being emphasised and taken seriously – not valentine's day BTW. William Sheikspeare, 22 years old and highly depressed, is hell bent on self-destructing. The only times he is at peace is when he's either travelling or watching a romance movie. As the first and legitimate son of Maguire Sheikspeare, New York's richest hotel and housing unit owner, he is obligated to do things he doesn't enjoy just to please his father. He's suicidal nature however makes his efforts to please his father seem abortive and instead succeed in worrying his cousin, brother and mother. Feeling inspired and committed to ending his life on Christmas day at his dad's Christmas party after an argument he had with him earlier concerning his life partner, he gets sidetracked when Taylor shows up on the rooftop right before he makes the jump. She manages to convince him not to do it and instead give life another try. On New Year's eve, Taylor coincidentally bumps into William who is now homeless and penniless. She takes him in and they become roommates. William finds Taylor and her friends to be fun and cheerful and stops thinking about ending his life. He falls for her charm, wit and occasional cluelessness. A situation reveals that William is Maguire Sheikspeare's son and one of the reasons why she is no longer with her family. Will she be able to embrace this news and forget about the past or will she once again be forced to focus on her friends and job just to get out of the red zone?
