Full story (spoilers)
Renee, a billionaire heiress, gives up the glitz to help her husband, Levi, recover after a crash left him in a vegetative state. Every day, Renee pushes him through a hard recovery so he can chase his NHL dream with the Falcons. Recovery is slow and foggy for Levi, and his doctor, Madeline, grows close to him. Renee loses her pregnancy in a miscarriage, and soon rumors spread that Levi has someone else. Madeline twists a hug between Renee and her brother, Clark, into an affair story, and suddenly Renee is under suspicion. Renee, hurt and grieving, begins to doubt Levi and asks whether he is still hers. The truth comes out: Renee did not cheat, and she confronts Levi and Madeline. She stops letting her life revolve around Levi and starts reclaiming herself, asking what is worth saving. The story does not promise that Renee and Levi find their way back together.
