Jack's wife, Cindy, died after an agonizing fight with pancreatic cancer. Jack retreated to his home and the bottle, unsure if he wanted to continue without her. When his parents threatened to come to his house, Jack escaped to the family's lake cabin, to be free of phones, TV, and the internet and to finally make a decision. But Jack didn't count on the presence of a mysterious stranger named Toby at the lake. At first, Jack was rude and obnoxious, but Toby's persistence tore down his defenses. After one week of intense, emotional confrontation, Jack overcame his grief and depression and began a new way of living. Bothered by the fact that he never really thanked Toby, Jack returned to the cabin, only to find that Toby was not who Jack thought he was.
