Harper works for Kristen (Lucy Liu), a sports reporter who has nothing in her life but work. Charlie works for Rick (Taye Diggs), a venture capitalist who also has nothing in his life but work. The two overworked assistants realize that maybe their bosses will lighten up a bit if they have a social life. So they decide to set up their workaholic bosses – love and laughter quickly follow.
