College professor Jake Fisher has spent the last six years nursing a broken heart after watching Natalie marry Todd. He promised to stay away from her, but when he spots Todd's death notice, he cannot resist attending the funeral. Jake expects to glimpse Natalie among the mourners, but the grieving widow is a complete stranger who claims she was married to Todd for nearly twenty years. This impossible revelation shatters everything Jake believed about his relationship with Natalie. As he searches for answers, his cherished memories begin to crumble. Friends who should remember their romance have vanished or claim no knowledge of Jake. Nobody has seen Natalie in years. Jake's desperate hunt for the woman who deceived him becomes increasingly dangerous as he realizes his entire identity may rest on an elaborate lie.
