When Tom puts his small daughter to bed one chilly December evening, he has everything he could ever want - the house of his dreams, the life of a writer, a beautiful wife and a second baby on the way. By the next morning all of this is in jeopardy as Tom succumbs to the devastating illness that is sepsis.This is the incredible story of a family coming to terms with a life-changing diagnosis while battling to hold their family and their marriage together.
