Synopsis
Set in the mid 1960s, this drama follows the difficult relationship between a woman afflicted with multiple sclerosis, her husband -- a prep school teacher -- and one of his students. The story begins as Helen dreams of flying and reaching for something she cannot quite see. She is married to Bill, a loving but rather stern fellow. When not coping with her illness and trying to raise their two children, Helen tutors a student, the idealistic Dave, who though intelligent, does not work hard in school. Dave is secretly infatuated with Helen and dislikes her husband both as a teacher and romantic rival. Meanwhile, Helen continues to feel herself leaving her body at night. This feeling persists until she falls into a coma. Meanwhile Bill and Dave clash over her, not realizing that while her body is inert, her mind and spirit are very much aware of their struggle.

Eden's son had history of heroin use
An investigation into the death of the bodybuilder son of actors Barbara Eden and Michael Ansara revealed he had a history of heroin use and died with a syringe at his side, an official said Friday.
Exactly what killed 35-year-old Matthew Michael Ansara could still take
weeks to determine and will likely hinge on toxicology test results, according
to a coroner's spokesperson, who asked that her name not be used.
Ansara was found dead about 9 p.m. June 25 in his Toyota pickup truck at a
Chevron station in the 1500 block of Myrtle Avenue in Monrovia, just off the
Foothill (210) Freeway.
