Two months ago, Chicago cut out funding the Safe
Haven women’s shelter. This makes it
extremely difficult to maintain the service and pay the mortgages on the facility
in Logan Square and the office in Lincoln Park.
The City Board wants to convert the shelter into luxurious condos.
Prime Developer led by affluent Ms. Clayton sends
a retinue to negotiate a deal. Their
lawyer is Dylan Hunt; while Open Arms Advocacy Center attorney Lucy Everhart represents
Safe Haven. They were an entry at law
school as a couple. A healthy competiveness and idealistic advocacy brought
them together. However, five years ago
Dylan ended his relationship with his Lulu and obviously turned traitor to
their cause. Each blames the other for
breaking their respective heart, but deep down both craves a second chance that
ironically both struggles to conceal.
This is an appealing second chance contemporary
starring two fascinating protagonists although uncompromising Lucy foolishly
can be a bull in a china shop when finessing the more powerful enemy is
needed. The romance of the oldest
Everhart “Chicago Sisters” (see The Best-Laid Plans and The Better Man) to the
man who left her two years after they graduated law school entertains the
Heartwarming audience.
