Medical student Gabby Holland clashes with her new neighbor Travis, a veterinarian whose relaxed habits disrupt the life she is planning with another man. Arguments over their dogs give way to boat trips and an attraction that neither existing relationship can comfortably accommodate. Years after that first meeting, an accident confronts Travis with a decision far harder than choosing to pursue her.
