I'll Never Find Another You

Have you ever experienced love that's so gut wrenching you're consumed with madness and passion that obliterates everything else in your life? When he was 19, CHRIS WESTON met JESSICA CAMPBELL in college. From that point forward, there was no other woman for him. The story dramatizes the relentless power of love to bend people to its will. The Vietnam War separates them as Chris graduates and enters military service. They meet again in their early 30s. Chris is a single dad of 5-year-old, BEN. Jessica divorced, the mother of 4-year-old ALICE. Their love and passion are re-ignited. Yet as their wedding day approaches, Jessica and Alice disappear. Then at their college alma mater, they find each other again. It's Parents Weekend 1993 and, ironically, their children are students there and romantically involved. Chris and Jessica are remarried. The sudden reincarnation of their youthful college romance is a siren's song impossible to resist. They abandon their families. Jessica develops pancreatic cancer. She contacts Chris to join her even though they've not spoken in nearly 20 years. Despite their troubled history, Chris agrees to return to her. The decision troubles his sister, VALERIE. She excoriates him. "You're an addict, a junkie. She's your drug, your emotional heroin. You crave another fix. At 75, you'll risk everything just to get that high, that lovely rush." He becomes her live-in caretaker, cook and companion. This is a simple, intimate tale of two people who have become a joy in one another's lives, as well as a constant curse. We see how much they clearly love each other, but we also learn how this union has effectively ruined both of their lives. Jessica and Chris are intrinsically connected, fated to never leave one another. It reduces them not as people so in love that it conquers all but they have been rendered victims to it, so they can never resist it. And is that beautiful or tragic? In the end, the answer is both as they finally marry even with her death from cancer looming in the near future
