Wonderfully amusing telling of a modern romance around business and the business of faith and love.
Coffee connoisseur Maggie Black has a plan... a God inspired plan. She is going to open a Christian Coffee House... Higher Grounds (great name!) and use it not only as a source of income, but to fulfill her calling to share Jesus with others... especially those who wouldn't set foot in a church. All she needs is funding and that isn't happening! Banker William Grey III, a tea drinking Brit, denies Maggie's loan and crushes her dreams. But there is a way out. Mr. Grey suggests Maggie take his small-business course to learn a bit more about what it takes to start up a business... and Maggie accepts his challenge.
In her efforts to succeed and impress Mr. Grey, she comes to learn that her dream will take a lot more work than she realized and that she needs someone in her life to share the load. Could the stuffy Mr. Grey be the one?
