Seattle-based Kendall Turner is an author writing about the science of love, she not believing that love is a matter of chance, but rather something that can be achieved only by following scientific principles. She is in stark contrast to the anonymous writer going by the pseudonym Doctor Love Struck, whose column appears exclusively in Pacific Sounder magazine, that author who espouses the notion of romance and the "grand gesture" leading to love. In reality, Nathan Hart, a staff writer at Pacific Sounder, temporarily took over the column solely in showing his editor, Jim Perkins, that he is a team player in wanting the Features Editor position when it opens up. However, he does believe what he writes. Because of Nathan's position as Doctor Love Struck, Jim assigns him to write a profile of Kendall as a feature article. While he will not and cannot divulge that he is Doctor Love Struck to Kendall, Nathan goes into the assignment questioning her approach to love. Conversely, Kendall, who is having trouble coming up with a concept for her next book, decides, after meeting Nathan, for that book to test her scientific theories with herself as the the subject and him as the potential mate in there being an attraction, but in knowing that the two of them aren't obvious on paper. The question then becomes whether these secrets, when they ultimately come to light, will affect not only what happens with each professionally, but with their relationship, especially if they do fall for each other before knowing the secrets.

Based on a true story, California Love takes place in 1992 Los Angeles. Joanne Beck (Christa B. Allen) is a young, aspiring entrepreneur whose idealistic outlook suffers a blow when she experiences sexism in the workplace. Looking for a change, Joanne volunteers at community leader Leon Watkins' (Allen Payne) help center in South Central.

When Jay comes to Leon for a loan, he meets Joanne, and their fate is set in motion. The unlikely duo defies social constructs and forms an organization that gains national recognition in the fight against racial injustice. Along the way, they experience love, tragedy, and the deep-seated racism that continues to plague America, ultimately leaving behind a legacy that is as relevant today as ever before.

Leah Waddell works as an on-air weather girl for a local television station in Conway, although she aspires to do real forecasting work for or with the station's chief meteorologist Chris, who believes she needs more experience before he will permit her to transition into that area. In addition to signs showing her that her dating life has stalled, Leah makes the threefold decision to: move out of her parents' house; stop dating for a year; and focus that year on her professional life, which includes completing her degree in meteorology and honing her knowledge on the science of weather forecasting. As soon as she makes that decision, men seem to be coming out of the woodwork, they not there before, wanting to date her. She ends up moving next door to Mark Crawford, who too is embarking on his own one year plan: having grown up on and just moved from his father's dairy farm, he, having gotten a consulting job with a dairy, is giving city life a try, his heart up to this point of his life on the farm. Leah and Mark end up making a connection as he tries to get her brain partly out of the science to take cues from nature to forecast weather, as he has done all his life. Especially as she has this one year no dating plan, their relationship, unspoken but known between the two, is purely platonic. As romantic unspoken feelings start to develop on both sides, they may miss the opportunity to make that connection fully as among other things Mark has to make the decision if he will return back to the farm at the end of the year, and as a former girlfriend, Rochelle Crosby, reenters his life.

In Boise, Idaho, Pat Godfrey and Margie Southworth were young sweethearts, which was particularly special to Margie because Pat's family was more like a real family than her own emotionally-distant one was. Margie's first job working for retailer Connor and Co. at their Oak Street store also felt like family, especially under her manager Willa. But when Pat moved to Hawaii immediately following high school for his dream of working in the outdoor-adventure business, Margie decided to stay in Boise. He asked her to go with him, but she thought he would only be there until he discovered his true life and career. Now 20 years later, right before Christmas, Margie is still working at Connor and Co., still in Boise but in their regional office as the VP of Marketing and Promotions; Willa is still her boss. Margie met her current boyfriend of six months, Scott, in the company; he worked in the field office 90 minutes away, so they've been doing the long-distance relationship thing. When Scott is brought into the regional office for training under Margie, they will get an opportunity to deepen their relationship in the probability that he is training for a job in the Boise office. Meanwhile, Pat, now divorced and the primary parent to adolescent sons PJ and John, has just sold his outdoor-adventure company in Hawaii for a job in Boise to be closer to his ex-wife Casey in San Francisco for the boys' sake, and to be closer to his now-widowed mother Lois, with whom they'll be living until they find something more permanent. Pat's job falls through so he scrambles to find another. He had planned to contact Margie in the New Year just as old friends, but fate seems to usurp Pat and they accidentally run into each other...again and again and again. While Lois believes their encounters are "Godwinks" at work telling them that they are meant to be together, which is the case if they listen to their hearts, their brains might be telling them something else. Pat feels his first priority is to find that job regardless of what that actually means in practical terms, and Margie feels the need to explore what a more-dedicated relationship with Scott entails, while both begin to believe that Scott being brought in for training at the Boise office means work changes for both of them, and not necessarily in a good way for Margie.

Two estranged brothers born on the same day, five years apart, run into each other at their family vacation home with wildly different expectations for how their birthday weekend is going to play out.
