On Christmas Eve, Isabel Whitney marries Felix Starling — an heir to the Starling fortune, in a wheelchair since a car accident two years ago, with an assisted death already booked in Switzerland for next year. He only agreed to the wedding because his grandmother gave him no choice. Isabel moves in with one suitcase, finds the paperwork on his desk, and stays anyway. She tells him she wants a baby; he counters with five months. Over those five months, the man who planned to die starts to want to live — and Isabel is the reason.
