Sarah is a single mother with a gorgeous four year old daughter. Her cheating husband walked out of their lives eleven months ago, and since then, there had been no contact or child support from him and she'd been struggling to survive. All her caring friends reckon she needs a man in her life. They are probably right, but she needs the perfect man, a family man who can be a father figure and role model for her daughter.

What she asks for though, is for the opportunity to view down the celestial corridor, to be able to catch a glimpse of her destiny and of what life holds in store for her. Her wish is about to come true. While standing outside the house watching a rapidly approaching electrical storm, she is nearly struck by a bolt of lightning. The experience is accompanied by the haunting mental image of an unusual looking clock, with a second hand ticking onto a specific moment in time.

That image will duplicate itself, with a déjà vu flash while standing in a queue at a local newsagency to buy a lottery ticket. Recognising the clock on the wall as being the one she had seen in her near death experience, she acts impulsively, to push a complete stranger out of the way and jump the queue. She demands an auto-pick, with the button to be pushed at the exact moment of the clock's second hand ticking to that foreseen point.

The ramifications of that experience are about to turn Sarah's life upside down. The recently divorced good looking stranger, with the warm and alluring teddy bear eyes who she'd just pushed out of the way, seems too good to be true. Perhaps fate has put him in her path, and perhaps her destiny lies with him, and not with the outcome of the fifty million dollar, first division prize lottery draw.
