Shawn soon imagines Violet could be his perfect wife while Violet thinks Shawn could be her ticket to a new life.This comedic tale of two misfits takes a dramatic turn when they face an unexpected crisis. Their only hope for a future is to discover the courage that comes from loving someone deeply.
