Description: What would you do if you found out the son you loved wasn't yours? Ethan Harrington's world has just been shattered...
Nobody wakes up one morning and decides that today is the day they are going to cheat on their spouse, but when the opportunity presents itself - it ultimately becomes a choice, and that choice, whether good or bad, can have irrevocable consequences. At thirty-four years of age, Ethan is a brilliant doctor, devoted husband, father to be - and borderline alcoholic. He has spent the better part of a year trying to forgive his wife, Jessica, for her infidelity, but her betrayal with a colleague of his has left him hurt beyond words.
That hurt slowly begins to heal with the birth of his son, but it isn't long before he finds out what Jessica has been so desperately trying to keep from him. Ethan's life steadily begins to crumble - and his drinking, fueled by this discovery, slowly engulfs him.
With his marriage now in pieces and his sanity questionable, Ethan struggles to come to terms with his alcoholism and face a past that he has spent a lifetime trying to forget.
