Eighteen years ago, Tom Johnson returned to California from Oxford and broke Julia's heart. Mike Ramsey picked up the pieces, but a family tragedy has left their marriage slowly disintegrating to the point where they can hardly bear to touch one another. Mike takes refuge on the golf course with their teenage son; Julia in fantasises of her lost lover. Then she learns that Tom is divorced and still thinking about her, and an old friend gives her Tom's card. A work trip to San Francisco will take her just 50 miles from his vineyard in the Napa Valley, but should she risk the consequences of seeking him out?
