Jo is a hopeless romantic. Worried she let her soulmate slip away, she''s chasing her past all the way to Chicago to break up her ex-fiance''s wedding.

Dean is a resolute cynic. After a brief (but not brief enough) trip to London, he''s returning to Chicago, where he moved to escape his dysfunctional past.

But it''s only when they get off the plane that their true journey begins...
