A straightforward account of a Madison Avenue advertising executive, Beal, who suffers a heart attack and must adjust his lifestyle if he hopes to recover. The film details the events leading up to the attack, the trip to the hospital, the measures taken to save Beal's life, and then the
changes Beal must make to prevent a recurrence. The crisis brings Beal and his wife Dabney to a new plateau in their relationship, which leads to their accepting a slower pace and toning down their expectations. Interesting, honest, and well acted.
