Details: On a warm May evening, the ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in San Francisco is a blaze of lights, the setting for an elegant charity dinner attended by celebrities and prominent personalities. Everything goes well until, just before midnight, the walls begin to shake. It is the prelude to a disastrous earthquake. In the dramatic moments that follow, between wounded and rubble, the lives of four strangers intersect: Sarah Sloane, the beautiful wife of a financial star and organizer of the event; Melanie Free, successful young pop star; Everett Carson, former war correspondent ruined by alcohol; and Maggie Kent, a nun with a charismatic personality. As the city struggles back to life, a chain of extraordinary events will mark each of the four survivors. Sarah will see her perfect world collapse, but she will find she has the strength to start over. Melanie, improvised as a volunteer in the field hospital that welcomes the victims of the cataclysm, will decide to make a choice of great courage. Everett will remain deeply touched by his friendship with Maggie, who will help him rebuild his shattered life, but which in turn will turn his own upside down. And as the months go by and the first, painful anniversary of the earthquake approaches, everyone will understand that the tragedy that brought them together has left behind a trail of unexpected gifts. Last but not least, the precious opportunity to start over.
