Needing a vacation, or maybe a place to hide, Olu finds himself on Griff's small town farm. I liked Griff's character. He was that gentle giant who is misunderstood in his small town. Insecure about his intelligence dude to long term assumptions. However, I never liked Olu. I usually like prickly and mean from being hurt in the past but I felt we were told he was actually nice and I never really had a chance to grow to like him. His inner monologue was still pretty mean. He could dish but not take it too. I also felt the plot was predictable so I wasn't that invested in it because it happened exactly as I thought it would.
