If all first dates went the way of this one, there would never be any second dates. Ever. Period. A suicidal jump off a bridge in the dead of winter at night led to a second jump. Both individuals survived, their drifting in the icy waters stopped by an anchored barge. The jump remarkably left them physically not much worse for the wear. More than 200 pages covers a span of time from the jump late at night until early the next morning, a period of only about 8 hours.
The story follows Jack and Aria as they pull themselves out of the river, muddied, shivering and near hypothermia to being spotted by the police and then transported to a hospital in the middle of blizzard like conditions. They spend 8 hours together navigating the medical system and meeting a number of characters. This is a story of survival, remorse and at times intimacy.
