A Simple Twist of Fate

After a heartbreak at the hands of the woman he loves, Michael McCann becomes misanthropic and miserly, devoting his spare money to collectible gold coins. In the same town, an affluent family with two sons, John and Tanny, resides. Tanny is a wild boy whom John cannot rein in. One night, Tanny breaks into McCann's house, steals the coins, and disappears, nearly confirming McCann's distrust of humankind. But then a mysterious young woman dies in the snow outside McCann's house, and her small daughter makes her way to McCann's door, entering his life and his heart.
