Mia has a jar of peanut butter, a smashed loaf of bread, and only 27p when she shows up for the interview at a reputable architecture business. She must have this job. even though the business's owner terrifies her to no end.
Max gained notoriety as "that grumpy northern architect off Grand Designs" when he informed Kevin McCloud that creating reasonably priced, green homes "wasn't rocket science" and that the majority of the other projects on the show were intended for "reight poncy bastads who want to spend a grand on a shite tap." Max was the new, incredibly reluctant pin-up of the building business, and it turned out that the whole gorgeous-but-rough-around-the-edges Yorkshire man vibe was exactly what the nation was searching for. The episode had gone viral.
But big, sour males weren't sexy to Mia; they were just scary. She's experienced enough to know that average-sized men can still be deadly. She would have run if she weren't so desperate. She runs frequently. Mia's unique abilities include running away and being invisible, which are survival skills she's honed over the years. So she'll just bloody well jog on, put up with Max and his mood swings, and disregard his label of "teen emo freak" (he doesn't know that her black hair used to be honey blonde or that her heavy eyeliner isn't by choice). Just make an effort to live. Make an attempt to hide.
Hiding is simple when no one is truly observing you. What transpires, though, when Max eventually opens his eyes?
A contemporary, full-length romantic comedy that pits foes against lovers.
