Most of the picture appears to be a revisiting of Peyton Place where Greg Kinnear is totally lost in the world of love. He loses his first wife quickly to a lesbian relationship, rushes into a 2nd marriage where the woman has had a relationship with the man she sold a house to several years back. It is only when he cuts his finger to experience pain that he finds the true meaning of love with the emergency room doctor. It almost sounds comical but it is only that the unfortunate idea of tragedy saves this movie from being a disaster.
Morgan Freeman and Jane Alexander play an inter-racially married couple whose doctor son has recently died of an overdose. Alexander has had experience with inter-racial roles having starred in the 1970 hit "The Great White Hope."
As if this isn't enough, a young couple struggle to find love and the woman finds out from a seer that her young boyfriend has but a short time to live. He has come from a dysfunctional home where the mother left long ago. When tragedy intervenes, our pregnant widow is given the opportunity to go live with Freeman and Stevenson, both of whom wish to rebuild their shattered lives.
While depressing, the film does emphasize the continuity of life. It is the ultimate redemption of shattered lives picking up the pieces.
