Janice and Curt met in college, but their brief, budding relationship was sabotaged by a jealous woman who wanted Curt for herself. Now, years later they meet again but things have changed.
Curt parlayed his successful NBA career into a coaching position with the Detroit Pistons which mean a move to Michigan and a new house. Janice took her college degrees and put them to good use as a interior designer with one of the top studios in Michigan. Curt's cousin brought the two of them together so Janice could make the mansion into a home. But Curt's attitude towards Janice might bring everything to a halt. Once he finds out that everything he was told in college was a lie, he feels horrible about the cavalier way he's been treating Janice and resolves to make it up to her. He asks her out, but she refuses. So he embarks on a romantic courtship of the single mom. He's aided by her three intrepid adopted children who think that Curt would be a perfect husband for their mommy and a perfect dad for them. He slowly breaks down the wall around Janice and they not only begin dating, they fall in love. He gives her a magnificent engagement ring which she gladly accepts. Everything is going along perfectly until some really huge lies come out concerning Curt. Janice tries to be supportive and not believe anything that had been said about him and another woman and it works. Until the woman in question comes to Janice office and reiterates the lies to her face. In light of all that's gone on, the couple decides to put the engagement on the back burner for now, but it cause both of them a lot of pain. It doesn't seem as though Janice and Curt will have a "happily-ever-after". With the intervention of some rather unusual Cupids, their love gets back on track. They waited a long time for love, but the love was definitely worth the wait.
