Plot summary

Gus Kubicek draws cartoons and has just won his fight against Hodgkin's disease, which is why he is bald. He is overweight, he is depressed, and he is alone. His sister Lizzie Potts, who writes romance novels and cannot keep her nose out of his affairs, starts arranging dates for him, and to make that work she sets about turning her brother into a man who looks the part. Then Gus meets Emily Pear and falls for her. Rather than present himself as he is, he invents a biker from New Zealand who dresses in leather, and Emily meets that man instead.
