 While Dee struggles with her secret, her son Scott is facing his own questions about love and friendship. With one failed marriage behind him, moving forward and taking a chance on love will not be easy.
 Jennifer is the girl next door who has been Scott’s close friend (and perhaps his only real friend) since they were children. How long can one wait for love before looking somewhere else?

A story about family, friendship, love and sex.
