Orchestral percussionist Gavin McKee just might be having the worst week of his life. It wasn't enough that his longtime girlfriend dumped him for another man. Just a few days later, his dog had to die unexpectedly. It's no wonder, then, that Gavin falls into a deep funk. He tries to keep up some semblance of normalcy by attending a colleague's birthday party; it's there that he becomes better acquainted with violinist Roxanne Lively, in whom he finds a kindred spirit who's recently endured her own painful breakup. They end up at Gavin's place after the party, nominally for a quick nightcap - but it turns into more. Much more. The complication? Gavin's twenty-eight years old - and Roxanne is fifty-four. As they try to figure out if they can work with the age difference and have a chance at love, or if they're just meant to be friends who found each other at the right time, they both know one thing is for sure: neither of their lives will be quite the same again.
