The Ending of a Beautiful Friendship?

Steve’s next partner changes all that. Through random circumstances, Steve begins dating Alice’s 26 year-old daughter. It’s already hard with Steve navigating the age differential, but his relationship with Alice also turns into a bitter feud.

Pursuing Destiny
