After years of disagreeing about what true happiness, success, and
love really is, Dave and Clarice Johnson finally face the breaking point
of their marriage. When Clarice's leg is crushed in a car wreck, the
obvious truth that more than just her injuries need immediate attention
is finally exposed.
Clarice and Dave have differing opinions on
what it means to be successful and to live a meaningful life. Dave is
satisfied coaching little league and running a janitorial service;
Clarice is driven by her quest to climb the social ladder. Dave is
satisfied coaching little league and running a janitorial service. Dave
feels at home in his blue jeans and pick-up truck. Clarice is a designer
label-luxury car kind of woman.
After Clarice sustains injuries
in a car accident, the constant presence of her physical therapist,
Julie, and the mentoring relationship between Dave and Julie's son
create strife that quickly moves the Johnson's marriage to crisis.
Clarice and Dave struggle to find restoration as they learn the
importance of promises made and kept - and the truth that help sometimes
comes from unlikely places.
