Emily is a brilliant young scientist who has spent her life in the world's finest universities and laboratories. After she effectively breaks up with her equally academic boyfriend, she turns to an alternate source for romance: the secular world of modern dating, an alien world that she must decipher. In the process, she meets Derek, a golf pro, who is bold about professing his interest in her, an interest she misconstrues merely as his desire to add her to his long list of conquests. And what reasonable woman would think otherwise, given his reputation? Will he fall in love with Emily and fall out of love with the world of perpetual carnal conquests?
