The story follows the characters of a TV journalist, Susan Allison, working on a profile of a woman, Caroline Thomas, whose husband naval aviator Lt. Neil Thomas was declared Missing in action sixty years ago during World War II. Susan immediately clashes with Caroline's grandson, Lucas Thomas, when he overhears her referring to the potential story as a fluff piece, rather than the very personal story it is, since she herself doubts if pure and true love exists. She apologizes, and manages to start the interview and starts spending time with both Caroline and Lucas. Her developing friendship with Lucas makes her have doubts about her relationship with her almost fiance, Andrew Hawthorne, a photographer who is frequently absent overseas.
