Laura has spent three years as Tim's assistant and his hidden lover, waiting for a man who is busy marrying a socialite to satisfy his family. What he never notices is that she is dying: her heart is failing, and every attempt she makes to tell him gets cut off by his fiancée's lies and staged scenes.
Believing she has little time left, Laura plans to resign and donate her corneas to a blind childhood friend she has not seen in years, not knowing that friend is Tim himself. As the fiancée's bullying escalates, Laura keeps her secret and keeps working, while Tim's cold possessiveness grows in ways he refuses to name. What he does with the truth once he finally sees it is the whole question.
