Ray Kelly is a likable guy, but going through a very tough time. When Alicia, a beautiful young career-minded woman is bold enough to hug him out of his daze, things begin to change for Ray. It is not an instant transformation, since Ray has himself in a pretty deep hole, but his new attitude opens him up to experience the beauty of love. Their romance is not typical, and they meet harsh challenges, but they benefit from the healing power of love and how important it is to feel connected to others. In the backdrop of densely populated city of Manhattan, they are able to bare their souls to each other and find the intimacy they didn't know they desperately craved.
