You've Got Mail meets The Hating Game meets The Office in this story of two rival editors fighting for the career opportunity of a lifetime β€” while sharing the same desk...

What starts as a battle of passive-aggressive post-it notes escalates with the death of literary titan Edward David Adams, A.K.A. The Lion. His estate is up for grabs, and Rebecca and Ben are thrown into a fierce competition to land it.

But when secrets about the Lion emerge, they are forced to ask β€” what role do they want to play in his legacy?

And most importantly, is their post-it war actually... flirting?
