But while vacationing on the romantic island of Elba, Ellie falls deeply in love with David, an older man-of-the-world who, unknown to her, is a famous medical consultant. Ellie is devastated when she realizes that David intends to let the relationship end with the vacation. But fate steps in, and the two meet again, this time in David's consulting room, where Ellie has been referred because of a suddenly serious condition. Will Ellie's love for David overcome her distaste for doctors?
