Knowing what it takes to present a dignified front when all you want to do is howl at the moon, her friend Pete, Boston’s former child prodigy, invests time and creative effort to help Sydney. Tragedy strikes when a major brain injury leaves Pete hospitalized and he doesn't recognize her anymore. When the going gets very, very tough, will you abandon the one who’s promised to love you until he dies?
