Samantha Templar wasn't looking for love the second time around but a thirty-six hour train trip to Florida proves to be a life altering experience for the 42 year old divorcee. Her desire to regroup after her husband's infidelity is challenged when she is physically rear ended in the train station by Mark Fields, a 40 year-old widower traveling with his two small children. The close encounter of the sensual kind gives rise to Samantha's other, more urgent desires, but she considers Mark taboo-he's wearing a wedding ring.
