Alex goes to university to study journalism and her talent secures her an internship with a New York newspaper where she meets Oliver, a crime reporter. They fall for each other but Alex won't let anyone get in the way of her ambitions. Can she follow her dreams without paying heed to her heart? For a woman with a mind of her own is unstoppable . . .
