To prove him wrong, she flees to Australia, where she reinvents herself as a screenwriter.
It is there she meets Jamie, who one day shows up on her doorstep to fix her plumbing.
In a house near the sea they begin to build a life together.
Beside Jamie, Anna finally finds the inner peace and freedom she craved.
But when all of life's possibilities are cruelly snatched away, Anna is faced with re-examining her work, her past, and the future she only thought she knew.
