Summary

Meet DALE BAXTER. He's like a lot of middle-aged guys, caught up in the daily grind. But underneath it all, he has a secret dream: literary stardom.

Writing and storytelling have saved Dales life countless times, and he's always dreamed of seeing his book in print.

After a particularly brutal setback in his personal life, Dale realized he needed a fresh start. He leaves his old life in the Atlanta suburbs behind and moves to the shadows of New York City to start over and chase his literary dreams.

After work one day, Dale stops by his regular Irish pub for a pint and some food. And while he's there, he runs into an old flame from high school who recently moved to town for work.

While he's reconnecting with his old flame, he realizes something major: the only thing in the way of creating the life of his dreams with the once-in-a-lifetime woman is himself.

Or at least an earlier version of himself....
