This could be the story of three gentle persons: Paul Rivers, an ailing mathematician lovelessly married to a British émigré. Christina Peck, an upper middle class suburban housewife, happily married and mother of 2 little girl. An ex-convict who's found in his Christian faith the strength to raise a family, and Jack Jordan. They will soon be brought together with a terrible accident that will alter their lifestyles. By the final frame, none of them will soon be exactly the same as they will learn harsh truths about courage, faith, love, desire and guilt, and how chance can change our worlds irretrievably--indefinitely.
