A father recounts to his children - through a series of flashbacks - the journey he and his four best friends took leading up to his meeting their mother. Ted has fallen in love.

Suddenly, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he hopes to find true love.

It features the staff of Dunder-Mifflin, a staff that includes characters based on characters from the British show (and, quite possibly, people you work with in your office). There's Jim, the likable employee who's a bit of an everyman. Jim has a thing for receptionist-turned-sales rep Pam (because office romances are always a good idea).
