A death sentence in the form of an insidious disease has taken hold of him. On that very day, and by means of a chance encounter, Adam meets the woman of his dreams - the lovely Lucille 'Lucy' Young. It is love at first sight that quickly turns into a seemingly unhealthy obsession by Adam that may lead to disaster.
