Had Matt decided to shun his favorite mountain resort following his wife's death...
Had Nick let his children and grandchildren go on vacation alone...
Matt Mason and Nick Rossi might never have met.
But Matt and Nick make the choices that lead to their meeting one night at the resort, and in each other, they recognize a kindred spirit. They begin to gradually share the stories of their lives.
Matt remembers meeting his wife, Rose, and knowing immediately how special she was. He relives his service in Vietnam. He tells Nick about the most horrible moment of his life, the day Rose began feeling pain in her chest.
In turn, Nick shares his own story-of a life marred by horrible events he is still trying to comprehend. As the two men recount the essence of their lives, both face painful memories and console each other with compassion and understanding.
Their mutual empathy leads them to make a pact, but the startling outcome of these cathartic discussions will profoundly rock their families.
