And it is here that he meets Bella, a troubled young woman who, at 24 years old, has just lost the love of her life, sparking a life-changing intergenerational friendship.
When Bella learns that Eddie is yet to have his first kiss, she resolves to help Eddie Winston finally find love in a heartwarming quest for a later in life romance, sparking an adventure that will take them to unexpected places and, they hope, bring Eddie Winston to the moment he has waited for all his life.
This heartwarming tale of friendship and kindness reminds us that those we love are never forgotten and it is never too late to try again.
