Twenty-nine, single, jobless and in a nightmare house share, things could be going better for Anya Mackie.
Then she stumbles across a pact she wrote with her school crush, Euan Carrick - to marry at thirty if they're still single . . .
But Euan hasn't been seen for a decade.
Reluctantly enlisting the help of Euan's emotionally unavailable best friend Jamie Kildare, Anya sets off across the country to find her Back Up Man.
But will Euan remember her?
And should Anya really be betting her future on her past?
