Hilarious and heart-warming, this unconventional comedy tackles love, loss, and coming to terms with growing old. Angus and Abigail wake up together one morning—after hooking up at a funeral. Strangers just the day before, Abigail thinks she may finally be ready to take another chance on love, but Angus has a few issues to work through. Enter Ollie, a neighbour and a former baseball player for the Detroit Tigers, who now enjoys golf and yoga. Nothing is as it seems with this trio and every disclosure reveals a new perspective. This charming and big-hearted comedy takes us on an unexpected journey toward a new lease on life.
