He needs to find a wife or at least a steady girlfriend to keep the social worker satisfied and the sister he’s raised, living in his home. Dr. Angela Harris came back to the small town of San Sebastian where she grew up for only one reason, to excise her past. She plans to attend her 15th high school reunion so she can get a little revenge and close a chapter of her life before she marries. She never understood why Gino dumped her suddenly all those years ago, but now she plans to give him a taste of what he missed, then take it away from him to show to him how wrong he was and to prove to herself that she’s forgotten him. The problem is that Gino’s charms have only improved with age and Angie isn’t prepared for the feelings that make it too easy to forget her purpose and too hard to leave again. Together they find that not everything is in the past and that the family they've always craved, has been there all along.
