Kristie Simmons, a lawyer, embarks on a legal fight to secure a bike lane for the community. Meanwhile, Bill, a veterinarian in the area, tells her about a dog named Gidget in need of adoption, and Kristie decides to take her in. During a walk with Gidget, Kristie encounters Keith Amos, a lawyer temporarily working in town from Seattle, who is out with his charming dog, Simon. Keith is instantly taken with Kristie, but her friendly demeanor shifts to hostility upon discovering that he is the attorney representing the opposing side in the bike lane dispute.
