Paige Morgan (Julia Stiles) tem seu futuro perfeitamente esquematizado. Trabalhando duro para alcançar seu objetivo de se tornar uma médica que viaja pelo mundo para ajudar os carentes, a aluna da Universidade de Wisconsin jura que nada vai atrapalhar o seu sonho. O que ela não esperava era conhecer Eddie (Luke Mably), um estrangeiro fascinante que, sem que ela tenha conhecimento disso, é, na verdade, Edvard Valdemar, o príncipe da Dinamarca!
