College professor Paul Rivers and his wife Mary find their union
precariously balanced between life and death. He is mortally ill and
awaiting a heart transplant, while she hopes to become pregnant with his
child through artificial insemination. Cristina Peck, having matured
since her reckless past, is a beloved older sister to Claudia, a good
wife to Michael and loving mother to two little girls. Her family
radiates hope and joy. Much farther down the socioeconomic scale, ex-con
Jack Jordan and
his wife
Marianne struggle to provide for their two children while Jack reaffirms
his commitment to religion. A tragic accident that claims several lives
places these couples in each other's orbit. In the aftermath, Paul
confronts his own mortality, Cristina takes action to come to terms with
her present and perhaps her future, and Jack's faith is put to the
test. If spiritual equilibrium is to be regained by any one of them, it
could come at great cost to the others. Yet the will to live, and the
instinct to reach out to another person for support, remains ever
present among them all.
