Neil Radford wants what we all want: love and purpose. But he's also what so many of us are: unsatisfied and unfulfilled, but eternally hopeful. When he walks away from his job and a troubled relationship, Neil finds more than he bargained for in Natasha Kirtsova,a beautiful, young Russian woman who sets him on a course of passion. But he learns quickly that love and purpose entail far more than the romantic ideal -- that being alive is as much about longing, sacrifice and losing as it is about emerging victoriously -- that love everlasting means more than he'd ever imagined.
