Model Isabelle Ash intends to make a career change. Rather than showing off thong bathing suits in thirty-degree weather, she is to become an actress. A new series set in a small town has approached her for the part of the lead - a lady sheriff. So Isabelle sets off for Pleasant Ridge, Tennessee to learn first hand what it takes to be a small town sheriff.

Sheriff Gabriel Klein is skeptical of a beautiful actress learning from him, but the mayor signs his paycheck and insists Gabe teach her. Gabe has many women friends, but with his homely looks they all seem to prefer to be pals rather than romantic partners. So he never considers that fact that Isabelle might sincerely be interested, or that his attitudes toward her might portray a very inaccurate stereotype.
