A warmly comedic yet tender small-town story about a neurodivergent young man learning to navigate relationships and change through his misguided but well-meaning efforts to fix his brother's love life.

Simon has Asperger's syndrome and doesn't like changes in his life. He lives with his big brother Sam and Sam's girlfriend Frida. When Frida can't stand having to adapt to Simon's peculiarities anymore she takes off, leaving Simon with having to find a new, perfect, girlfriend for his brother.
