You think you have everything. A happy marriage. Children you love. A job you enjoy. A house you''ve made into a home. Then, almost in the blink of an eye, you lose it. All.

When Rachel decides things aren''t working and asks Andrew to move out, she thinks she knows what she''s doing; she thinks she knows how it will be, how Andrew will react, how the children will cope. After all, relationships end all the time, and everyone survives -- don''t they?

But Rachel is wrong, and her decision has consequences no one could have foreseen.
