A New York advertising CEO stumbles into a fiery affair with a young Russian emigrée despite his happy marriage. As his business sky-rockets, he battles to hold his turbulent life together, weighing passion against long-lasting love.
Tragically, circumstances strip him of both women - his wife and his new love. His life is now dominated by great business success and huge financial rewards. He is on top of the world, albeit alone. Top clients seek him out, not always with good intentions.
Years later he encounters the Russian by chance, but can he ever truly love her again after so much time and so many painful events have passed?
Not since Bridges of Madison County has there been such a poignant story.
