'When Maddie runs into her old high school boyfriend Beau on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, she can’t believe how natural – and right – it feels to be back by his side. But her romantic daydreams are shattered when she turns up at her new job and discovers that her sweet Texan flame is the star of the new hit reality show Ship of Love.

'As a production assistant, Maddie is forced to watch ten gorgeous ladies in designer bikinis compete for Beau’s attention in luxurious settings, while Maddie chases after them in t-shirts and running shoes. The work is hard, her boss wants to throw her overboard and Maddie is rapidly losing her resolve against workplace romances. The show might be all smooth sailing, but Maddie is facing rough waters ahead.'
