Dr. Helena Ross, a bestselling author and successful radio therapist, is considered a relationship expert, even though her own love life is far from perfect. Then Dodge Harrison, a young writer and surfer struggling with his sexuality, walks into her office. Over the next seven months, she helps him become the man he thinks he wants to be. Their relationship soon crosses a professional boundary, offering Helena a renewed chance at romance and Dodge intimacy with a woman and a writing career he has long pursued.
