Connal Tremayne drowns his grief in alcohol every year on the anniversary of his wife's death. This time, Pepi Mathews follows him to Mexico City, hoping to help the tormented widower who works for her father. But instead of finding him at a bar, Pepi discovers herself standing in a chapel as Connal asks her to marry him. She agrees to the ceremony, certain that a Mexican marriage license holds no weight back home in the United States. The next morning brings a sobering revelation. Their spontaneous wedding is completely legal and binding. Pepi must now navigate her unexpected marriage to a man consumed by loss, while Connal faces the reality that his impulsive decision has bound him to the young woman who tried to save him from his demons.
