A chance meeting between them sends shockwaves through their lives. What happens when your first love makes a surprise reappearance? Is fate telling you it's time for a second chance . . . or should you simply walk away and let the past become ancient history? 
 
But Susannah and Rob just aren't able to forget the way they were . . . and the world is about to realize the consequences of their reunion.
