It begins on a perfect spring day with a picnic. A sudden gust of wind unmoors a huge balloon with a child in its basket. The day ends with a tragedy which takes only seconds, but which will reverberate in the lives of those present. The heretofore idyllic romance of Joe Rose and his wife Clarissa is tested when the balloon accident carries a most unusual stranger into their world. Suddenly the couple finds themselves confronting the truths about their relationship which are unlocked by the uninvited passionate longings of the solitary young man. As the stranger's obsession grows, the gulf between Joe and Clarissa widens. When Clarissa begins to doubt Joe's sanity, a shattering and violent situation erupts which will forever alter the couple's world.
