Coast Road / Three Wishes

Jack McGill has always put his career first, and when he returns from another business trip to find his wife gone, he is left to face the consequences of his choices. Six years later, a serious accident leaves Rachel fighting for her life. Their two daughters are struggling, and Jack, who has never been much of a presence at home, sets his own work aside to sit at her bedside. Among Rachel's new circle of friends he meets people who knew her far better than he did, and he begins to notice her paintings and the life she built apart from him. Hoping to understand what drove her away, he finds himself looking at his marriage, his daughters and his ex-wife in a new light.
