Poppy and Cam are used to bailing at the first sign of trouble.

Poppy has never been in a real relationship. Why bother, when boys never seem to live up to her expectations? One red flag, and she's out.

Cam has never dated anyone for long. A day here, a week there - but nothing more. He always seems to get spooked and get the ick.

So their friends set them a challenge: Poppy has to stick it out for two whole months with the next guy she meets and Cam can't be the one to end things. When they meet on the bus and agree to go out, Cam tries everything he can to put Poppy off, but this time, Poppy can't disappear at a glimpse of something she doesn't like...
