A Patchwork Planet

Ex-thief Barnaby Gaitlin works for Rent-a-Back Inc., compassionately performing household chores for shut-ins and the elderly. The 30-year-old black sheep of an "old" Baltimore family, he is a disappointment to everyone in his life, including himself. Living in a basement, and haunted by his shady adolescent past, he can't seem to do anything right - until he meets kind and sensible Sophia. Could hers be the love that will alter his life?
