Two children who survived a religious sect massacre in 1972 are fated to meet again one day¿¿ Matthew Forest is aimless in life. He¿s late 30s and has nothing he can¿t hop on a plane, fly half way around the world, and forget. The shallowness of this existence gets to him, though. He needs meaning and purpose¿. Single mother Nicole is `meaning and purpose¿ personified and could use a bit of the other stuff. Nicole has been left alone by an ex-husband and is technically available. She¿s not the type of woman Matthew usually dates. He¿s from upper-class London and has never even met a small town, working single mother before. One with two jobs no less¿. The thing is ¿ grounded and real-life might be exactly what Matthew has been missing out on.
