This tale of love and dishonesty begins with Amy Daniels, M.D. An Infectious Disease physician, she’s to train a resident in treating patients at the local hospital in that specialty. Lo and behold it’s Jace, her long time friend and ex-what-could’ve been! Holding a grudge the size of Texas, Jace is put-out at seeing he’s to train with Amy, and both descend into retrospections of their lives to present day. Amy was originally his sitter, and she was dating Julian Daniels, a hot wide receiver on a full scholarship to UGA. He’s a liar and a cheat and adroitly manipulates her into marriage. Only she doesn’t discover his deception until they’ve been wed for six months. His duplicity uncovered when Amy and Jace pack her things to move to San Diego, the lifelong friends become emotionally attached, but he encourages her to remain with her husband, which is what she does. Time moves forward, and Iowa has an outbreak of Ebola at their farm, and Amy and Jace are poised to go there and snuff it out. Their lives that were originally distant and apart are endangered, but can Jace mend the shards of a broken heart and find true love for good?
