Vivien Simpson, ordinary wife and mother, found all her happiness in the secure, loving home that she and her husband, a successful Washington lawyer, has established.
Edward David was just another ambitious, overworked congressional aide whose idea of a quiet evening for two usually meant an evening spent alone with his typewriter - much to the dismay of his vivacious wife.
There was no earthly reason why Vivien Simpson and Edward Davis should even have met. But the force of a passion far beyond their comprehension brought them together under tragic and bizarre circumstances.
In the aftermath of one of the worst aeroplane disasters in Washington's history, two unidentified bodies are discovered amid the wreckage in the Potomac River. As a result, Vivien's and Edward's marriages are suddenly shattered. Each is forced to questions the very nature of love itself. And the terrible secret they learn transforms their lives, and forever binds their restless, 'Random Hearts'.
Now a major film starring Harrison Ford and Kristen Scott Thomas.
