As the cracks start to show, Nat wonders if Neil really is the man of her dreams. Or is it possible that someone from her past could actually be 'the one'? Nat's little black book, filled with the names and addresses of previous lovers, could hold the answers she's looking for. Or it could be a one-way ticket to all kinds of trouble.
