Liz is married to a man she adores but like most busy couples with a young family their time together is limited and Liz longs for more. When Paul mentions that his old friend Bruno is visiting Rome, Liz sees the opportunity to spend some much-needed time together and suggests they go out to see him.
They've only just begun to explore Rome when disaster strikes and Liz is pitched into a nightmare. In the weeks that follow she discovers just what an elusive emotion real happiness is and is forced to take a long look at the life she's known and loved. The road is long and tortuous but the journey is not without its excitement and when a new path opens in the most sudden and unexpected way Liz begins to look forward again.
