However, one afternoon while walking along the beach her life changes when she meets a handsome man who takes her to lunch and then to his bed. Gabriella realizes that her chance encounter is the catalyst to the problems that have existed in her marriage for a long time. While at a party with her husband that evening she meets an old lover, Ricardo, who rekindles a passion inside her she has not known for years. Her chance encounter and resulting affair with Ricardo gives Gabriella the strength to understand her future and stand up to her husband.
