Emily Lester and Derek McKay are the very best of friends. Since the age of ten they have depended on each other in every sort of circumstance. When Emily's life is endangered it is Derek she depends on to save her. His plan is a good one but it means he will have to give her up to a place he can't get her back from. As the decision is made, other people enter the mix; Jay, a handsome pilot and Cameron, the man that will become responsible for Derek's very existence. The question weaved through this story is: "If I could go back and change the things that affected my life negatively, how would my life be different now?"
