Nairobi Sinclair, a successful professional on her way to addressing a group of college-bound seniors for a mentoring program, faces an unexpected situation when her car breaks down. Pressed for time and with no other choice, she reluctantly considers public transportation, something she typically avoids. Nairobi has strict rules regarding her personal life, having sworn off relationships and focusing solely on her career. However, her encounter with a handsome bus driver named Theo Jameson challenges her preconceived notions.
Despite her reservations about crowded buses and aversion to breaking her self-imposed rules, Nairobi can’t help but be captivated by Theo’s charm and good looks. Against her better judgment, she agrees to date him, expecting a casual and inexpensive evening. However, she is surprised when Theo takes her to a high-end restaurant, dressed impeccably and giving off an air of power and control. That contradicts his occupation as a bus driver and leaves Nairobi questioning his true identity. While Theo doesn’t explicitly reveal his background, he allows Nairobi to form her assumptions and judgments about him. However, she becomes increasingly intrigued by the mystery surrounding him, sensing that there is more to him than meets the eye. Theo is determined to win her over and must trust her before disclosing his wealth and status. Nairobi and Theo navigate their attraction and the layers of their complicated lives. They find themselves challenged by their rules and the need to trust one another. Both driven by a desire to give back to their communities, they discover that love and connection may be beyond the surface, forcing them to confront their fears and redefine their expectations.
