Two months into their marriage, Kim and Krickitt Carpenter face an unimaginable test when a catastrophic car accident leaves Krickitt in a coma with severe brain trauma.

Yet he refuses to abandon his wedding vows. As Krickitt struggles with her transformed identity and Kim grapples with loving a stranger, they must decide whether their commitment can survive total amnesia.
