Jiela and Raphael have been married for two years now and life couldn't be better. Their eyes still glow with a new couples' joy, and they have a decent sized house to boot. They both love to go on trips to exotic places and, thanks to Jiela's inheritance from her deceased mother, they can afford whatever they want. But the young couple soon have their first taste of Hell on Earth when Jiela breaks her hip on a sky diving trip gone wrong. She and Raphael face great grief when they hear the news that she will need a full hip replacement which means she can no longer go on the trips, nor will she be able to carry a child. 
Now, instead of passing the time on airplanes eagerly exchanging their future aspirations, Raphael and Jiela spend their evenings bickering. Their walls are covered in photos of their smiling faces atop Mount Denali or underwater on the Coral Reef. But if anyone took the time to walk by their grand home, they would only hear curses exchanged in bitterness. Will the couple be joyful again? Or will they split up so Raphael can continue his family line while Jiela becomes a lonely rich cat lady?
