His longtime girlfriend DANIELLE is on him to get married but Michael has little interest in a commitment. He lives the life of a young bachelor in a single swingers club with his best friend who calls himself DR. LOVE. His old friend RANDY, now turned enemy, moves down from Canada and steals a promotion from him but Michael is determined to win this war. First, he needs to get his head straight by making major changes in his life. He decides to go back to Europe to reconnect with his roots. He visits his birthplace in Austria and faces the shock of his life when he meets the woman who saved his life 28 years ago and out of the blue she had a premonition about his return. She also predicted that he was coming back to Austria to get married but Michael scoffs at that idea because the disaster of a previous six month marriage still haunts him. A few days later, he travels to Hungary and meets innocent but gorgeous ISABELLA (21). It’s love at first sight and twelve hours later he asks for her reluctant father’s blessings. Isabella’s family thinks Michael is an insane American who is going to drag her into the dangers of Los Angeles but she follows her heart and marries him. Michael must return to the States for business. Danielle meets him at the airport and tells him that he got her pregnant years ago but she married another man that ended in divorce. She is still hoping to marry Michael but Isabella is arriving soon and he now has a dilemma. Isabella joins Michael and reluctantly accepts Michael’s past life style but the problem with Danielle lingers in the air. Five years later, Isabella and Michael have a four year old daughter but Isabella wants to adopt Danielle’s child, even though they have never seen the child. The truth is finally revealed. Danielle had an abortion but kept it a secret, hoping to lure Michael back into her life all these years. When the dust settles, they become good friends. Michael starts a successful engineering company but Randy sets up a competing business, steals his contracts, key employees, and bankrupts him. The couple faces other incredible personal tragedies when Isabella’s father dies and her mother commits suicide. The ultimate test of their love is when their young daughter is diagnosed with terminal cancer. After hitting rock bottom, Dr. Love, Isabella, and Danielle form an unlikely alliance to set up a fiendish trap for Randy, based on his greed. With a clever twist, Michael’s revenge is skillfully executed when they drive Randy near death and force him into oblivion.
