Val is a veteran newswoman happily married to her second husband and actively involved in the lives of her two adult children from her first marriage. But below her exterior of normality lies a dark secret about her first husband, a revered decorated soldier buried in Arlington.
As the family prepares for her daughter's wedding, Val is assigned to a story involving a couple of swingers-people who engage in recreational sex with others-that brings to the surface some painful memories from her past.
Val's biggest fears become realized when old family friends, actively engaged in the swinging community, arrive at her daughter's rehearsal dinner, and both of Val's children are forced to come face-to-face with the promiscuous lifestyle.
It is then that Val must decide whether or not to reveal the truth about the sordid world she experienced while living as a military wife.
Filled with riveting family drama, The Breathless Ones is an absorbing tale about sexual relationships-and the incredible joys and risks that can emerge from them.
