It's Scrub nurse Jane Cabot's twenty-ninth birthday and she would like to be married before she is thirty. Her life is full - theatre nurse, Samaritan's Counsellor, choir member, hockey player - but so far she has not found the right man.

As she gets to know him she realises that he has problems - as she does herself. Could they solve their problems togther?
