On the way back from the canyons to his hotel, Paul’s car hits a motorcycle. Leslie, a nurse and poet, the driver of the crushed bike, gets a ride from Paul, and, they become friends. Two weeks later Paul’s son Marco breaks an arm and leg skiing in Colorado.becomes his home-care nurse and soon falls in love with his patient.
