To everyone close to Drake Cassidy, shy, bespectacled Evan O'Donoghue seems to be a complete mismatch; to look at the two of them together, they appear to have nothing in common. Thirty-year-old Drake is a self-employed auto mechanic with a busy garage and two passions; during the day, he practices one of those passions in his coveralls, working on cars. In the evenings, he indulges his other true passion of music, playing with his friends and bandmates on a little stage in the back of his garage. On weekends, he likes to take his vintage Porsche to car shows...and almost always wins the prize for "Best in Show"... Evan O'Donoghue is an innocent...completely untouched; he's never been kissed, never been in love. At twenty-eight, he has almost given up hope of finding love...almost. Shy and introverted, when Evan isn't working at the posh menswear store he manages, or at the Chestnut Hill library in the evening, he's reading or writing poetry in the notebook he always keeps with him. His own secret passion is the Classic Mercedes automobile he inherited, and after countless hours of restoration, Evan decides to take his Mercedes to a local car show, where he meets confident but gentle Drake Cassidy. They are so different...total opposites...or are they? Looks can often be deceiving, though; something stirs, and in the end, it's what is in the heart...two wild, secretly rebellious hearts, that matters...
