Introduction:

After years of disagreeing on what true happiness, success, and love really are, Dave (Morris Chestnut) and Clarice Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) have finally reached a breaking point in their marriage. When Clarice is severly injured (and crippled) in a car accident, the interference of her cackling mother Mary (Jenifer Lewis), the obvious truth that more than just her injuries need immediate attention is exposed. Their odds of making it worsen as Clarice begins to see a physical therapist, and Dave develops a friendship with Julie (Maeve Quinlan) and her teenage son Bryson (Cannon Jay). The acceptance and comfort Dave finds in them stirs his longing for a family and a passionate partner. After Bryson unexpectedly dies in a swimming accident, Dave and Julie’s relationship closens and Clarice pulls farther away; they must confront whether their vows are or are not easily broken. But later on, Julie uses Bryson’s death to lure in Dave for sympathy and passion. He stops by her house to comfort her but she kisses him and he realizes what kind of person she really is and that he is still in love with Clarice. The couple reunites and Dave finds out that Clarice is pregnant.
