Ben hit the skids, but now is trying to get his act together. He allows himself to go to the soup kitchen as a guest once a week because it's the single thing left of his accomplishments.
Emily is a volunteer at the soup kitchen and attracted to Ben from day one. But she suppresses her feelings because he's a guest. For months, she keeps her distance but one night, when she gives him a ride home, they end up in bed together.
