Gilda is terminally ill. Her only wish is to die without pain, and as all her suicide attempts comically fail, she decides to seek professional help.

Living with her snobby family on the brink of bankruptcy, Anne Elliot is an unconforming woman with modern sensibilities. When Frederick Wentworth - the dashing one she once sent away - crashes back into her life, Anne must choose between putting the past behind her or listening to her heart when it comes to second chances.
