When it comes to motivation, Nick (Hugh Dancy) is sorely lacking. Content just to watch life pass by while he lives it up with friends, Nick struggles to find direction after everyone he knows disappears. Nick may not know the first thing about coaching sports, but when an opportunity with a local youth league opens up, he jumps. After striking up a fast friendship with one of his young charges, the aging slacker falls for pretty young doctor Gabrielle, who displays little patience for his irresponsible lifestyle. Before long things start looking up for Nick, but when his ex comes back begging forgiveness, everything starts to fall apart. If Nick can just find a way to show Gabrielle that he's really changed, perhaps she will discover that he's a catch worth hanging on to. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
