Darci Jorgensen had a great life. She married her high-school sweetheart, and they have two wonderful adult kids. Darci has a rewarding job, good friends, and is particularly proud that she still looks years younger than she is, thanks to her love of fitness and sports.
Her husband, Ted, a football hero in high school, hasn't done anything athletic for years, except for golf using a cart, and he's put on weight over the years of their marriage. After a trip to the Emergency room while feeling tightness in his chest, Ted receives some startling and frightening news from his doctor, and he commits to turning his health around. Darci jumps in wholeheartedly, loving Ted with all of her heart.
With the hopes of training for a sprint triathlon, Darci encourages Ted start taking bike rides together. When they are out riding one afternoon, Darci gets ahead of Ted, and waits for him to join her. When he doesn't, she goes back, and finds him lying on the ground.
Darci is horrified, thinking that Ted has had a heart-attack, and quickly calls 9-1-1. Darci dotes on Ted until the police arrive, followed by EMS. Darci is shocked when she learns that Ted is dead. She is further traumatized when she learns he has not had a heart attack, but he's been shot.
As Ted is taken away, a local police officer, Curtis Eckart, who went to high school with both Ted and Darci, provides support to Darci, offering to take her home. He is friendly and comforting, and Darci also notices that he is extremely fit, unlike Ted. A distraught Darci needs soothing, physical comfort - something... or someone... to help rid her of this horrible sadness she has been plunged into. Curtis is more than willing to help, but is he trying to be too helpful?
Isn't strange how life change change in an instant?
