Simone Parker, a frazzled, slightly neurotic schoolteacher from Illinois breaks down on the road en route to a family reunion that she would rather not attend. With a dead cell phone and very little traffic on the road, she's forced to wait for a Good Samaritan to come to her aid. She gets more than what she bargained for when she meets Matthew Copeland, a widower firefighter from the next town over. From his courteous disposition, sparks of sexual tension and passion fly, leading to a remarkable night the two would never forget.
