Sixteen year-old Billie Travers knows exactly what she wants: to be a dog trainer and her dad's business partner in Travers Big Dog Board and Train Bootcamp. She has plans.

Mitchell Roberson is living every teen's dream: moving to Yodel, Oregon from upscale Bellevue, Washington
before his junior year because his father wants to start a "hobby farm". Wait, what????

Billie's dad hires Mitchell in spite of an interview that begins with Mitchell meeting a rambunctious yellow lab
and ends with him flat on his back—dazed and confused—looking up at the concerned faces of Billie and her father.

Billie has her doubts, and Mitchell is sure her dad is going to fire him. Then, "The Kiss" changes everything.
