he had dated. Colin preferred to date only girls that were named
Katherine. Unfortunately, Colin took this breakup really hard because he feels
like a nothing. So, Colin and his best friend, Hassan decided to go on a
road trip to cheer him up. On the road, all that Colin talks about and
everything that he sees remembers him of the latest Katherine. They make it to Gunshot, Tennessee and it is
there that they meet Lindsey and decide to stay and work for her mom. It was Colin’s and Hassan’s job to go around
town and interview the townsfolk about life in Gunshot. As Colin and Lindsey get close, he begins to
