Short description

When Lila Chapin’s husband forgets her fortieth birthday, she withdraws a chunk of money from the bank and disappears.

Her disappearance forces him to reconsider the direction their lives have taken and just how much he needs her. But has his insight arrived too late to save their marriage?
