There are some days where we never see something coming, not even in a million years. For Erin Becker, it was watching the Connecticut state college football star, Cooper Rosen, wearing a white leotard and flipping around in the air at a circus. Perhaps in a twist of fate, or just pure luck, she finds herself with this NFL player-to-be bowing down at her feet with the promise to do anything so long as she doesn't tell.

Without any actual idea what she wants, Erin leads Cooper around with tiny requests that range from getting her Swedish fish everyday to teaching her tricks high up in the air. In a tale of discovering what it means to remember what it's like to be a child, the duo unwrap their lives and indulge into a new one.
