Former NHL player Mark Bressler is damaged goods. As captain of the Seattle Chinooks, his career is sidelined after a car accident leaves him severely injured and unable to play hockey. And to top it off, his team goes on to win the Stanley Cup without him.

Mark doesn’t want to depend on anyone. His prickly demeanor has forced several of his previous home health care workers to quit. Enter Chelsea Ross, a large-breasted aspiring actress hired by Chinooks management to be his latest caregiver.

Chelsea is offered a $10,000 bonus if she can stick it out with the surly stud. And from the moment he spots her two-tone hair and gaudy fashion, he takes every opportunity to insult and belittle her.

Chelsea needs the money for breast reduction surgery and to reestablish her acting career in Los Angeles .

Mark makes her life difficult. He requests embarrassing items at the drug store and makes her answer thousands of emails from well-wishing fans. But eventually Chelsea ’s kooky manner, coupled with her organizational skills and short skirts, wear down his defenses.
