Following a year and a half after his wife's death, Ben decides to resume back into his social life, with dating women. Ben soon realizes that he has a lot to re-learn about women just as his son is learning about them for the first time. Even though Ben and Matty hardly had any trouble talking about anything before, now even the simplest conversation has become complicated, especially when the topic is the women in their lives.
