Not all plans work out the way you want them to.
Lauryn Harper had a plan. A high achieving, perfectly constructed, five-year plan. But after a (totally blown out of proportion) mishap at work that plan is put to the test.
As punishment for her (perfectly innocent) mistake she is transferred to the Ryser Charity Department, a branch of her corporation that just so happens to be located in the hometown she abandoned long ago - the same hometown that her powerful corporation is responsible for running into the ground. Horrified at the thought of returning home and facing those she left behind (one in particular keeps coming to mind), Lauryn quickly comes up with a new plan: impress her boss so stunningly from afar that she's briskly whisked back to her big city life.
However, it soon becomes clear that sticking to plans isn't that simple, especially when confronted by past wrongs, town hijinks, chaotic planning committees, her ex-bestie, and a second chance at a childhood friend. Swept away into all that she once swore she would never be a part of again, Lauryn will come to learn why home isn't necessarily a place she has to run from.
