When a young man proposes to his girlfriend atop the Eiffel Tower, the moment is witnessed by delighted tourists, but the effects ripple far beyond the romantic scene.

Vonnie, a widowed cake-maker, is ready to open her heart again, though someone seems determined to keep her from doing so.

Each character must face questions about love, forgiveness, and whether a past mistake can be corrected.
