Nick Chisholm was a physical guy until he was paralysed nine years ago by locked in syndrome. But he wasn't giving up on life and after nine years alone Nick decided he wasn't giving up on love either.

But how do you find it when you can't walk and you can't talk. For Nick the answer was on the net, and in the form of an English woman called Nicola but again how would this work?

One person who knows Nick better than anyone is his brother, reporter Matt Chisholm. So when Nick finally met Nicola in the flesh after nine months of emails across the world it was only right little brother was there.
