Sociologist Sandra Foster studies fads while chaos theorist Bennett O'Reilly researches information flow in complex systems. Thrown together by a hopelessly incompetent office assistant and a herd of sheep, they stumble toward a discovery about the origins of trends — and fall in love along the way.
