Dr. Gregory Dixon and Attorney Derrick Madison had a modern day biblical David and Jonathan friendship. They are closer than most brothers until Gregory performs a life-saving surgery on Grace, a beautiful young college senior, who was involved in a car accident that takes the life of Derrick's mother. When Derrick finds out about the operation, he abruptly and abrasively ends his life-long friendship with Gregory.
Gregory's doctor/patient relationship with Grace turns into a deep abiding love as he nurses her and watches her regain her health following the tedious brain surgery. Although he misses his friendship with Derrick and prays constantly that things
will return to normal, Gregory pursues a romantic relationship with Grace, and leaves his broken friendship in the hands of God for mending.
Sherry, Derrick's wife is torn between her friendship with Gregory and Grace and her love for her husband. Agreeing with Gregory's decision to perform the surgery, she searches for a way to support Gregory's new life and love while trying to understand the grief and guilt that her husband is experiencing from his mother's untimely demise.
Though the loss of Derrick's mother is a tragic event, in the end it somehow brings these young Christians closer together than ever before. Not only do they learn to forgive, but they also learn to put total trust in Christ.
