Brad Caldwell's a pretty decent guy. Women like him, he's had a few girl "friends". But there's a problem; He meets a girl, they get together, but after a while, they either separate or become friends. Brad is the first to say he doesn't know what women want. Except for Doreen, his friend from High School. The one he'd just lined up when the sporty Craig came along and swept her away. Now he's the uncle to their daughter. She takes delight in informing Brad in great detail exactly what she wants, but not from him. But all that changes when he meets Edith. She's the most complex woman he's ever...
Brad Caldwell's a pretty decent guy. Women like him, he's had a few girl "friends". But there's a problem; He meets a girl, they get together, but after a while, they either separate or become friends. Brad is the first to say he doesn't know what women want. Except for Doreen, his friend from High School. The one he'd just lined up when the sporty Craig came along and swept her away. Now he's the uncle to their daughter. She takes delight in informing Brad in great detail exactly what she wants, but not from him. But all that changes when he meets Edith. She's the most complex woman he's ever met, a forensic accountant and a first dan black belt in Tae Kwon Do. She can hold her own against big tough second and third dan men, yet gets upset, in fact, goes over the top, when Brad confuses a bush walk with a music concert. Brad has never had to work so hard to be with a woman. Added to his stress is his new boss, who uses him, overloads him with work and, as Brad finds out, lies to him. Till he came, Brad had loved the job. It doesn't help that Remus, an old Uni buddy, is pressuring him to come to work for him. Remus sees the value in Brad. And in hospital, Brad's estranged father is dying. While juggling all this, Brad just happens to smile at the absolute wrong moment on a date with Edith, which destroys his relationship with her. And it's only at that moment that Brad realises that Edith is the one, the only woman he'll ever really love and now he's lost her. Angry at how she feels Brad has treated the woman, Doreen throws him out of her house. Already struggling with the loss of Edith, Brad's mother rings: his father has passed away. The pressure builds within Brad. In a fit of anger at his boss's lies and abuse, Brad quits his job. Only to find when he rings Remus to tell him he's made his choice and will join Remus in business, he learns Remus's wife has suddenly died. Brad sits in his apartment, depression pressing in on him. Like an automaton running on automatic, Brad helps Remus close down the business. Remus is moving in with his wife's parents in another state. Driving home one day, Brad glimpses a unique shop while stopped at traffic lights. A crazy idea forms. A last throw of the dice. A wild, impossible chance to save his relationship with Edith. For once, Brad rushes in blind.
