Can you find a second "love of your life" after the loss of your first? Paul Kellogg, a widower with two young daughters, attempts to answer this question as he struggles to overcome the loss of his wife. Christine O'Neil, a beautiful, unmarried, marine biologist, has trust issues with men due to a demeaning sexual relationship with her college boyfriend. As a romance develops between Paul and Chris, Brenda Harris--a jealous and vindictive associate of Paul--wants him in her bed and will do anything, even kidnapping, to break up his relationship with Chris. Will Paul and Chris's love survive Brenda's antagonism and harassment? It may take a tragedy to provide the answer.
