And then, like always, his alter-ego stepped in and ran her off. Now, on the eve of his fortieth birthday, Kevin has to figure out how to get her back-or whether he should even try. Through a series of hilarious vignettes, Kevin Gable takes the audience through his love life-the dates gone wrong, the unwanted intrusions of his alter-ego, the ill-advised hook-ups, the bad relationship advice from his sex-obsessed friend, Doug. As the story unfolds, Kevin will come to an important realization about himself, his past, and the reason he's been unable to make any relationship work. | |||||
