Paul Purkins discovers five-year-old Chance lying in the rain. The two have something in common: They're both hopelessly alone. Chance needs a father. And Paul needs a son. I suck at summaries (everyone says that about themselves), but yeah, I do.

What if Raph was Mikey and Mikey was Raph? Raph will realize just how harsh he is, and Mikey will discover how annoying he can be. Will they be stuck like this forever? Most of the time I'd say, no, probably not. But I'm in charge here. You never know how this could end.
