He is a young executive and she is a budding artist with a brilliant career ahead. However, when life in common begins to become routine, a series of circumstances that they would never have imagined separate them forever. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime that Heavenly knows he has not committed. Celestial is a radically independent woman, but the blow leaves her empty, drifting, and seeks refuge in Andre, childhood friend and best man at her wedding. Roy's years of condemnation are passing, but Celestial is unable to hold on to the love that had been the center of his life. After five years in prison, Roy is unexpectedly forgiven for the rest of the sentence, and returns to Atlanta ready to resume the life he shared with his wife
