Emma Corrigan feels life as she has had a fabulous year though the Pollyanna young woman always sees the optimistic side of things. Still she has a right to feel great as she stays employed at Panther Cola for nearly a year and is seeing the perfect Ken-doll like boyfriend Connor. She even thinks she is on the right track for a promotion now that the opportunity has occurred for her to show off her talent.

However her chance flops and a desponded Emma flies home expecting the worse at the office. She vents on the plane to her row mate while flying in nasty weather telling her deepest secrets about her weight, NATO, and other things. The next day at work Emma meets her plane partner Jack Harper, Panther Cola CEO visiting the British Branch.
