Ben faces a dilemma when he and his fiancée Marissa search for two homeless kids - the children of an itinerant drifter who collapsed during a pub brawl. Ben has already begun to suspect that he has met his match in selfless self-sacrifice in Marissa, but relations are strained when Ben realises that Marissa is hiding the kids. While most things work out well, Ben and Marissa soon realise that they don't have the trust to make their marriage work, and decide to call it off.
