   Summary

   The party fell out a few years after graduating, makes sense. Everyone went to a different college, they lost time to keep in touch with each other, and next thing they know-- they don't talk anymore. Will lives alone now, and he misses his friends. A lot. So, he took it upon himself to do some digging and reconnect, starting with-- Mike.

   Or,

   Will stalks the Wheeler family's social media to find Mike's number, their reunion being nothing close to what Will expected.
