When Simon reconnects on Facebook with first love Sylvie - the French pen pal he never actually met all those decades ago - he is determined that things will be different.
Together with old school friend, Ian, he sets off on a bike ride from Bristol to Bordeaux, the same route they covered as teenagers in pursuit of love.
But although Simon and Ian have better bikes, more acceptable haircuts, and Google Maps, some things never change. And the road to true love is as bumpy as those country lanes.
Is it ever too late to fulfil your dreams? And will Simon finally meet Sylvie?
