Zachary Michaels remembers many things from his youth -- his first kiss, that crazy night at a concert, and his little adventure with a man named Niall Horan.
He's charmed by Niall's stories about his young life in England: his eccentric friends, his hopes and dreams, and his soul mate named Liam. But after a strange twist of fate, Niall had been stuck on the other side of the world, unable to go back home.
Determined to help his friend, Zac goes on to do the impossible: enlisting the help of an indie-pop star to come up with an elaborate plan to go to Wolverhampton and reunite Niall with the life he left behind when he came to America.
