tiptoeing through a minefield f r a u g h t with combustible opportunities a groom jilted at the altar by bride who'd rather stay "just friends." humiliated at his wedding, still reeling from devastating heartbreak, yet he won't throw in the towel. he's sucked back into the rabbit hole of presentiment. family and friends scratch their heads in frustration; they push him to make a clean break... " leave this woman, she will hurt you, again!," they implore. s e n s i n g inevitable trouble on the horizon, they preach safety first, yet, he stubbornly chooses to flirt with danger; so it's back to square one. he still loves her, deeply, but does she?
