Kevin "Shakespeare" Boland's life has been going good, even after his mom died. His girlfriend, Mira, is cute, his baseball team is on their way to the playoffs, and he's got some talent when it comes to writing poetry, but he isn't happy. Why? He and Mira are so different, his dad is trying to find a new girlfriend and is throwing away of bunch of his mom's old stuff, and now he's met Amy. She's not as cute as Mira, but they have way more in common. Does he like Mira enough to stay with her? Or does he fall for Amy?
