Short description

When the paths of a slacker, a modern-day troubadour and a 40-something divorcee converge, each wonders if the other might lead to their happily ever after. But they aren’t in a fairytale; they’re in the real world of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula facing loss, difficult relationships and the realization that happy endings are a lot like unicorns.

Extended description

The only child of a workaholic Arrow Motors executive and a fundraising powerhouse, 27-year-old Donald Donovan has never aspired to much except getting high. Even after he’s finally kicked him out of house and moves to the U.P. to be with his best buddy Nick, nothing changes. Two years later, Don’s content to party on, be underemployed and take an occasional class at the local college when the mood strikes.

Then he falls for fellow student Cassandra Nouri, a divorcée 13 years his senior with an autistic daughter. At the same time, an accident thrusts Don into the life of Silvio Wood, their unusual professor. Both give Don reason to do some self-examination; the real wake-up call comes when Nick is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Suddenly wasting his life getting wasted doesn’t seem like such a good idea. While Don struggles with Nick’s impending death, he finds himself becoming deeply involved with the professor-- and Cassandra.
