And despite the best of intentions, irresistible forces begin to tear their lives and hearts apart. Almost unnoticed, Steve and Meredith have begun living separate lives in increasingly separate worlds.
Steve working late shifts at the hospital, grabbing an occasional dinner with a new colleague, a doctor raising a daughter on her own. Alone in San Francisco, Meredith is spending long hours at the office with her boss, charismatic entrepreneur Callan Dow. Weekends together, their lifeline, fall prey to their hectic schedules. Neither Steve nor Meredith had reckoned on the frustrations of a bi-coastal marriage, as Steve's job keeps him in New York for months longer than planned. Saying he'll join her as he can find a new job himself, they can begin their family at last. But Steve is more than willing to uproot himself. Traditionally, men's careers forces families to move to new cities, compelling their wives to abandon friends, home, and lives to follow. Meredith is thrilled and surprised when Steve urges her to accept a top position at an exciting young high-tech company. Especially now that she has been offered an extraordinary opportunity, a chance to reach for the brass ring-in San Francisco, three thousand miles away. But Meredith keeps putting off motherhood, saying she isn't ready and doesn't have time. The only thing missing in their lives is children. Steve, a gifted physician, chose an urban trauma ward over the big money he could have earned elsewhere. Meredith, an investment banker, has achieved partnership in one of Wall Street's top firms.
