Rick Steps is forty-eight years old and recently divorced. His thirtieth high school class reunion is coming up in two days. Rick plans to go and, hopefully, meet Chrissie Manuess; the girl he fell in love with in eighth grade. He remained in love with her throughout high school, but never even talked to her, until the day he retrieved her ring when it came spinning towards him on the high school hallway floor. It was a brief, awkward conversation that ensued. He always wondered; Did she throw the ring on the floor so he would pick it up and approach her? He was a wallflower in high school; he was an extremely shy,young man, who was not unattractive, but, nonetheless, lacked confidence. Although Rick eventually became an attorney and projected a cool, confident demeanor in court, the idea of meeting Chrissie Manuess again filled him with anxiousness, but at the same time thoughts of recouping a lost opportunity for love excited him. Little did he know the danger that awaited him.
