When Sierra Madison is demoted to a gossip columnist at work, she wanders into the coffee shop across the street, where Nathan, a handsome barista in a wheelchair behind the counter, befriends her. After finding out that the part owner of her newspaper is a mob member and wants her silenced, Sierra gets help from a detective named Phil who looks identical to Nathan. But both men declare they don't know each other and never seem to be able to meet. Even though Phil can walk and he protects her from the evil Chicago undercurrent, she still wants Nathan, but knows it can never happen when she finds out his secrets.
