Loving Benji
is all that Bridget knows, and even though he doesn't return her
love, they are best friends, and she refuses to give up hope that
one day they will be together. But when Benji is killed in a car
wreck, Bridget can not cope with the pain, and his death has left
Bridget with nothing to focus on but her grief. She sinks into a
deep depression, which she calls “The Hole,” and she is lost in
self-pity. Her friends convince her to go out with them one night
and she meets Jasper, who she is physically attracted to. But can
he compete with Benji's memory?
