A romantic drama about two strangers who fall in love during an unexpected journey, separated by circumstance and reunited by fate, anchored by the emotional weight of disability and second chances.

Ex-football star Mike Gambril meets Terry McKay on a flight to Sydney, which is forced to land on a small atoll. They become romantic on board a ship sent to take them to a larger island. They agree to meet in New York three months later to see if the attraction is real. One shows up but the other doesn't. However, a chance meeting brings them together again.
