Dashing British stage star Hugh Davidson abandons his heart attack recovery in London to return to Rachael Reed, the love he left behind in New York City. While he's been absent, she has stepped into the role of stage manager at the Classique Theatre off-Broadway, but her life isn't exactly a dream come true. Her estranged husband, Danny, is stalking her around the city, trying to convince her to come back to him, and she can't seem to shake him off. As Hugh gets jealous and protective, Rachael begins to worry more and more about the condition of Hugh's heart, her own strong feelings about both Hugh and Danny, and what her next steps are going to look like. Set against the backdrop of a romantic Shakespeare production, Hugh and Danny vie or Rachael's attention, until tragedy strikes and Rachael is forced to come to terms with a difficult truth; she can't forge ahead with her future until she spends some time dealing with the past.
