Darcie Baxter ha ventinove anni ed una vita troppo complicata. Lavora in un'azienda che produce biancheria intima, ma l'ambiente è troppo caotico e competitivo; vive ancora con una nonna dal carattere esplosivo ed un gatto posseduto dal demonio; ha un fidanzato che è sposato ed una serie di amiche sull'orlo di una crisi di nervi. La svolta arriva con un viaggio di lavoro in Australia. Là incontra Dylan, proprietario di un ranch, un incrocio tra Keanu Reeves (ma molto più sexy) e Mr Crocodile Dundee (ma molto più troglodita), che la ama e vuole sposarla. Ma presto la vita di coppia inizia a vacillare: gli scontri tra la spregiudicata newyorkese e il tradizionalista australiano diventano insostenibili, al punto che Darcie decide di tornare a casa. Ma Dylan non demorde e, dopo un po', la segue.
