Ashley Marie Parker and Lizzie Hernandez have exactly three things in common: neither have been in a relationship for more than two weeks; they share the same best friend, Camille; and they cannot stand one another. Parker is a boundary-pushing fashionista and Lizzie is an introverted musician with stage fright. When an epic Parker-Lizzie bickering match goes way too far, Camille finally snaps and challenges them to date each other for one month.

So Parker and Lizzie spend a month going on dates, and opening up to one another. But as they start to fall in like, the other parts of their lives start to crumble. Facing their own separate hurdles, Parker and Lizzie need to understand if their relationship is strong enough to combat their old habits, and if you can truly fall in love after only 30 days.
