Steve Halprin is no different than most college-educated, corporate professionals-a loyal employee of a prestigious computer and information technology giant that rewards loyalty with lifetime employment. Or different from most married men-faithful husband, reliable provider. Seduced by the promise of a better life, Steve follows in the footsteps of his shrewd best friend, negotiating a job transfer away from the snowy winters of Upstate New York to the temperate climate of North Carolina's affluent, high-tech Research Triangle. Barely relocated, his better life begins to unravel, first with the news of his wife's sudden life-threatening illness, then in his chance infatuation with a beautiful, elusive co-worker while his enviable work life and the career satisfaction he has taken for granted crumble around him. But the crush of his losses empowers him to pursue the only thing that matters-one distant hope of reclaiming his life.
