Mikaela Campbell collapses into a coma, leaving her husband Liam to care for their terrified children while doctors offer no hope for recovery. Liam refuses to accept their verdict. He spends each day at her hospital bedside, recounting memories of their shared life and willing her back to consciousness through sheer devotion. Then Liam uncovers a shocking truth about Mikaela's past: she was previously married to Julian True, a famous movie actor. Though the discovery shakes him, Liam realizes he must contact Julian if there's any chance of reaching his wife. The decision forces Liam into an agonizing choice between his pride and his desperate love. As he pursues every possible path to bring Mikaela home, Liam risks losing not only his wife but his children and the life they built together.
