After a troubled firefighter (Mark Consuelos) rescues a workaholic author (Chandra West), a friendship blooms that finds the two collaborating on a firehouse cookbook and reconsidering their futures.

Grace Harlan, who writes for Fidelity Publishing which solely publishes "How to..." styled books, has her life planned to the second with her fiancé Cliff, the two year plan being for both to work hard now to buy a house in an upscale suburban neighborhood which they probably could barely afford before getting married. Grace has had this need for control in her life ever since the unexpected death of her father. Their plan doesn't sit well with her BFF and co-worker, newlywed Jen, who believes they are squandering their time away being workaholics for an end which will only take them further away from their friends and a life. Firefighter Steve Lockwood has been reckless in his job ever since the death of his wife Molly a year ago. Refusing to go into therapy to deal with his anger, he is suspended indefinitely by the fire chief, Captain Washington. Steve's younger single brother Frank, a fellow firefighter who is generally unsuccessfully on the prowl, just wants Steve to get back to having a real life as opposed to moping alone at home. A second chance encounter between Steve and Grace leads to Grace reevaluating her A-type controlled life for putting some true meaning back in what she chooses to do in a day-in and day-out basis. In wanting some passion placed in the ideas she pitches to her boss Alicia instead of pitching what she thinks will sell, Grace decides she wants to write a book on the life at Steve's firehouse, most specifically their work in combination with the food they create during their down time, with Steve known as the best chef in their house, although cooking is another of those things he has put aside in his retreat from life. In working on the book project, Steve begins slowly to come back to life as he falls for Grace. Thus watching her get married to another man may just make him retreat back into his depression.
