But these six years have not quenched his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he cannot resist attending his funeral. There he catches a glimpse of Todd's wife, hoping for... but she's not Natalie. Whoever the woman in mourning was, she had been married to Todd for almost twenty years. And with that, everything Jake knew about the best time of his life, a time he will never forget, is turned upside down. And as Jake searches for the truth, his fairytale memories of Natalie begin to be explained. The couple's mutual friends are either impossible to find or they don't remember Jake.
