David Hedges´s life is coming apart at the seams. The last person he expects to hear from is Julie Fiske. It´s been decades since they´ve spoken, and he´s relieved to hear she´s recovered from her brief, misguided first marriage. To him. She´d just like David´s help organizing college plans for her 17-year-old daughter. David and Julie pick up exactly where they left off thirty years ago - they´re still best friends who can finish each other´s sentences. But there´s one broken bit between them that no amount of home renovations will fix.
