What could have happened within that week he was gone?

One way or another, she's going to find out.

When Clove invests in the help of her brother, Zack, a police detective, she's afraid her suspicions of infidelity will be confirmed. Terrified that such news will crush her heart, she sets about preparing for the worst.

Only to find it's much more than she could have imagined - there is no other woman.
