A young couple must find their way back to life after the loss of their precious two-year-old son. Both Ben and Maggie fall into deep despair over their sudden tragic loss.<\/p>\n

Ben wakes up in a psychiatric ward with a hole in his head. He doesn\u2019t know how it happened and doesn\u2019t believe he is Ben. Meanwhile, his wife Maggie is trying to deal with her own grief and hasn\u2019t been able to go back to her old life without her child.<\/p>\n

Maggie\u2019s brother Francis is a priest with his own set of problems but somehow together these three find a way to get comfort from each other.<\/p>\n

It is a powerful look at death, love and forgiveness. It\u2019s learning to cope with life, no matter what the outcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
