Plot Summary

In New York, faithful, boring book-jacket-summary writer Ben Holmes is ready to fly to Savannah, Georgia, to marry his beloved fiancee Bridget, but the plane crashes at takeoff and Ben is stranded in the airport. But soon he meets free-spirited Sarah, who finds a man called Vic who offers them a ride in his rented car if they will split the expenses. Along their troubled journey, the forces of nature seem to conspire against Ben as he gets better acquainted with unpredictable Sarah. Soon he questions whether or not he should go through with marrying Bridget. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Quotes Ben Holmes: Quoting Bishop Jeremy Taylor, "Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful."
