Plot: Things aren’t going well for 25-year-old Aaron Simmons. He is living with his parents, cannot find a job and his ex-girlfriend is about to marry his brother. Talk about the not-going-well trifecta. Enter Julie Ranmore, a 44-year-old, married mother of two – but the passion in her marriage has long since gone.

During their first meeting, each is unaware that the moment is the unlikely start to an unlikely relationship. When Julie gives him a reality check the next morning, Aaron becomes more determined to find a job and leave behind his childhood bedroom.

The ensuing events have profound implications for both as they come to terms with finding love in the unlikeliest of places.
