While on his honeymoon, the brilliant young writer John Malcolm Pearce is killed in a snowy car crash. His devastated widow, Andrea, agrees to donate his heart, but her good deed goes crazily awry when she tracks down its recipient, a middle-aged insurance agent named Hank Corman, and hears John's heart call out to her. Margo Corman, who has dreamed of having a healthy husband once again, finds herself competing with a glamorous, rather deranged, younger woman for Hank's affection (or is it John's?).
