Have you ever experienced love that's so gut wrenching you're
consumed with madness and passion that obliterates everything
else in your life?

When he was 19, CHRIS WESTON met JESSICA CAMPBELL in college.
From that point forward, there was no other woman for him.
The story dramatizes the relentless power of love to bend
people to its will. The Vietnam War separates them as Chris
graduates and enters military service.

They meet again in their early 30s. Chris is a single dad of
5-year-old, BEN. Jessica divorced, the mother of 4-year-old
ALICE. Their love and passion are re-ignited. Yet as their
wedding day approaches, Jessica and Alice disappear.

Then at their college alma mater, they find each other again.
It's Parents Weekend 1993 and, ironically, their children are
students there and romantically involved.
Chris and Jessica are remarried. The sudden reincarnation of
their youthful college romance is a siren's song impossible
to resist. They abandon their families.

Jessica develops pancreatic cancer. She contacts Chris to
join her even though they've not spoken in nearly 20 years.
Despite their troubled history, Chris agrees to return to
her.
The decision troubles his sister, VALERIE. She excoriates
him. "You're an addict, a junkie. She's your drug, your
emotional heroin. You crave another fix. At 75, you'll risk
everything just to get that high, that lovely rush." He
becomes her live-in caretaker, cook and companion.

This is a simple, intimate tale of two people who have become
a joy in one another's lives, as well as a constant curse. We
see how much they clearly love each other, but we also learn
how this union has effectively ruined both of their lives.
Jessica and Chris are intrinsically connected, fated to never
leave one another. It reduces them not as people so in love
that it conquers all but they have been rendered victims to
it, so they can never resist it. And is that beautiful or
tragic?
In the end, the answer is both as they finally marry even

with her death from cancer looming in the near future
