Poznejte nejprovokativnější sexuální vztah, jaký kdy nějaký pár měl. Lucas Callahan se vzdal snoubenky a maloměstské budoucnosti s právnickým titulem a rozhodl se zkusit štěstí v New Yorku. Uchytí se v časopise Empire a věří, že je jen otázkou času, kdy se z nejnižší pozice vypracuje na slavného novináře. A pak jednou v noci vyrazí do centra a seznámí se v baru s nádhernou brunetkou, která ho vezme k sobě domů… Carmen Kellyová chtěla být žurnalistkou tepající nešvary, ale jelikož mají manhattanské časopisy mentalitu klukovských klubů, ocitla se v časopise Empire v roli sloupkařky píšící o sexu. Její poslední příspěvek je o politováníhodném – a neuspokojivém – setkání s rozpačitým nemotorným chlápkem, který je sice celkem pohledný, ale v posteli příšerně nezkušený. Lucas zjistí, že se vyspal s nechvalně známou Carmen Kellyovou – tou, co píše sloupek o sexu v časopise, kde pracuje i on! –, až když si přečte její ponižující, útočná slova. Rozzuřeně napíše odpověď a podepíše se jako „Slušňák“. Empire reakci zveřejní a oba sloupky mají bouřlivý ohlas. Čtenáři žádají pokračování. Časopis přistoupí na ujednání: Carmen a Lucas se spolu vyspí každý týden… a utkají se ve vzájemném hodnocení svých výkonů. Aktéry milostného sloupku zanedlouho čeká víc než jen válka slov: nakonec si musejí vybrat mezi ambicemi, láskou a důsledky naprosté poctivosti.
