What are the chances that two people looking for love, cross paths from two different states. Both divorced, but apparently an alone weekend birthday trip to the mountains and a dating app connected two individuals in a way that would last forever.
On a typical day in New Orleans, Tony would get off from work, search through his dating profile; swiping more to the left than right.
