Genie Toledo is a spitfire who married the wrong guy young, had a daughter, and divorced. Now in her forties, she has compensated by throwing herself into her work as a top-notch cardiologist. Over the years, Genie, although smart, funny, and immensely likable, has kept her emotions at bay and her loved ones at a distance. She doesn't need anyone. She's self-sufficient. She doesn't even mind that Mick, the man she meets every Thursday at their hotel has a wife and a basketball team that takes up most of his time. She doesn't mind until Mick becomes fatally ill, and everything she thought was certain seems to be slipping away.
