   Summary

   It had been more than 12 years since Mike and Will last saw each other. Their worlds weren't the same anymore. Empty of each other.

   That is until Will's daughter, Maya runs into Mike at her school, who is a teacher there.

   Now Mike and Will's worlds collide again, and the universe is giving them another chance to fix what they broke.

   But Mike and Will are not alone this time. Maya is determined to find a suitable husband for her father.
