We all want to find that 'special someone' and 'live happily-ever-after', now don't we? Sal & Selia certainly thought they were going to! That was when they learned the hard way that living that dream life is a lot harder than just wanting to!

Sal & Selia Gabriello are a widowed couple who've found new joys, new life, and new love in each others arms. Leaving the sorrows of their pasts behind them, now they're happily married and preparing to embark on a care-free journey into their dream world of 'happily-ever-aftering'. What neither of them expected was that they were going to find themselves trapped in the nightmare world of Selia's hidden addictions!

Now they find themselves bound on a journey they never thought they'd be forced to take, embroiled in a struggle they could only hope to win!  Armed only with their undying love, they choose to face that frightening road and fight that battle...together... because they both know that no matter what they think, no matter what they want, no matter what they say and no matter what they do; no one person can stop the pendulum of life...the pendulum of love from swinging...no matter what!

Can their own true love survive the ordeal that fate has chosen to put them through? Can love really conquer all? Can anyone even hope to stop that relentless pendulum from swinging?
