Lopez plays Claire Peterson, a high school literature teacher with a cheating husband (John Corbett) and a sweet, bullied teenage son named Kevin (Ian Nelson) who has severe medical issues. Guzman is Noah, the titular boy who moves in next door. Well, he's not really a boy. He's nearly 20. He moved in with his great uncle because of the old man's health issues and to finish high school after he missed too much class due to the untimely death of his parents. So, Noah is taking care of a sick relative, trying to finish his education, using his talent for fixing things to help his neighbors and befriending Kevin, a kid in desperate need of a buddy. What's not to like? It's no surprise when Claire, still reeling from her husband's adultery and fresh off a bad blind date, sees Noah as just a hunk, a hunk of Burning Love (apologies to Elvis). Claire tries to resist Noah's advances, but he won't take "no" for an answer – when he comes on to her, or when he insists on continuing the affair. He gradually becomes more and more demanding and more and more assertive in trying to get what he wants. With Noah being her son's only friend, with thoughts of reconciling with her husband running through her head and with the knowledge that she slept with a student at the school where she teaches (an increasingly volatile student), Claire has quite a problem on her hands. After her protestations repeatedly fall on Noah's seemingly deaf ears, and worried about what he'll do next, Claire is forced to confide in her friend Vicky (Kristen Chenoweth), who also happens to be the school's assistant principal. And that's when the "fun" REALLY begins.
