Jacob Phillips is a middle-aged man whose failed first marriage left him with nothing more than two sons: one he never knew and another who despised him. And although he cannot forget the actions that ruined each of these relationships, most days he manages to avoid the painful memories by focusing on life with his new wife and family — until he learns of a horrible accident that threatens the life of his ex-wife.
In the space of a tiny hospital room, Jacob is brought face-to-face with his past and confronts the decision to forgive, the implications of which affect not only his own future but that of his new family, as well.
