1986 - Shoulder pads are big, hair is bigger, and American college student Kate Spenser is set to embark on the biggest adventure of her life. Having been accepted to a summer study-abroad program in Oxford, England, Kate travels to Europe for the first time.

Kate is psyched about a summer of exploring countries, experiencing new cultures, and perhaps meeting a charming man along the way. Armed with a French-English dictionary and her Walkman loaded with Duran Duran, Kate is ready to start her adventure in France. Little does she know what awaits her when she arrives, and how she must use her wits to escape peril in Paris. Fortune favors Kate when she meets her Punk Charming, and it's love at first sight. Now, if she could only find him again!

James Barrington meets his soul mate while on the run from Paris. Miscues and sabotage prevent him from reuniting with Kate, but he can never forget her. If only he had told her before it was too late. Or is it?

Can true love conquer all?
