Within weeks of Hy's death, Aaron discovers that his wife is having an affair with another woman. Suddenly alone and depressed, Aaron searches for answers by reading his spiritual books, consulting a friend and psychic counselor, and by volunteering with the Salvation Army. His long-time friends at the Bookie Joint provide friendship and support while Aaron adjusts to the changes. Aaron's life seems to be turning around a few months later when he meets Sofia Cristall, a beautiful and talented interior designer who is as smitten with Aaron as he is with her. Aaron gets caught up in the web of a Mafia Don's manipulations and he learns some truths about his friends at the Bookie Joint that he would rather not know. At the same time, he is offered a chance to become a part of a family he never knew existed. But, will those family connections cost him the woman he loves?
