Anna is twenty-two years of age and is getting desperate. She feels there is pressure from her friends to find a husband and live the "happy family" dream. The majority of her friends are either engaged or married, and the circle she moves in talks relentlessly about the future they have planned. She is attractive and intelligent, but finding the right partner proves to be very disappointing and challenging. She knows the man for her is out there somewhere—she just has to find him. When she does find him, she goes to the darkest depths to keep him.
