Following a chance encounter with Serena Barrington, Sally Palmer volunteers to look after the Barrington's family pet while they are away.
The only problem being, Serena is married to Sally's boss, the charming and enigmatic Hugh Barrington.
Sally, newly divorced and committed to her job as Personnel Manager at Barrington's Department Store, has no idea how one simple weekend spent dog-sitting will completely transform her life.
When a further chance encounter, this time with Hugh, prompts Sally to hand in her resignation, events spiral rapidly out of control. To everyone else at Barrington's, Hugh has the perfect marriage. Sally, however, discovers otherwise.
Not only do Hugh and Serena share hidden secrets, Sally soon has one of her own. This time it is one that cannot be shared - even with her closest friends.
