Stella, a divorced Black woman in her 40s takes some time off work and travels to Jamaica while her son spends time with his father.

She returns to Jamaica, finding that Winston is in fact much richer than he has let on, but is then called to New York, where Delilah is ill. Winston follows her to New York and the two try to decide if their relationship can work.
