Will their attraction grow into something deeper, or will it wither and die on the vine?

After the Syracuse Stallions clinch the championship, Nathan Zinkan, the renowned wild man of the AHL is arrested for a DUI. Again. When a no-nonsense judge adds a heavy dose of community service to an already stiff sentence, Nathan has to forget a summer of partying and slide on a pair of gardening gloves. His entire future now rides on how well he can behave while helping elderly urban gardeners tend to their tomatoes.

Watching local garden center owner Bran Cavanaugh working without his shirt is a benefit he wasn't expecting. Pity Bran is also the one in charge of the community garden as well as keeping tabs on Nathan's hours served. The two men are instantly at odds due to Nathan's rebellious nature and Bran's icy demeanor. Yet there's no denying the attraction that begins to build between the hot-headed athlete and the cool as a cucumber master gardener.
