When Nick "Odd Duck" D'Onofrio, retired MMA fighter, gym owner, and proud owner of the second largest rubber duck collection in North America (but he's closing in on first, thank you very much), meets Tina Falcone, pizza restaurateur, true crime enthusiast, and creepy crafter, he's sure he's finally found the one person he can fall in love and start a family with. Too bad Tina has exactly zero interest in ever getting married, and even less interest in having kids.
