Enter Isaac Drake. Isaac is the polar opposite of Sawyer: polite, slightly awkward, and seemingly "plain." When Sawyer decides to make Isaac her project—documenting his transformation from a shy wallflower into a confident "bad boy" to prove her skills—neither of them expects the experiment to backfire.
