People Who Are Unforgettable

Twenty-something Caroline, a waitress at Jim's Coffee Shop and Bakery in Minneapolis, has a history of not following through with anything. She also has a history of falling in love too easily with losers, who end up breaking her heart when they eventually and always break up with her. It isn't until he rescues her one late autumn evening from an incident that Caroline really sees for the first time how much Adam, the unassuming and largely silent busboy at the coffee shop, cares for her. Beyond not wanting to tell anyone about the incident out of shame, not even to her best friend, fellow diner waitress Cindy, Caroline slowly begins to let Adam into her life. Over time, Caroline learns bits and pieces about his life, and is able to infer why he is a loner with no family and friends, although she takes one of his stories with a grain of salt. She eventually falls in love with him, as he always has been with her. It isn't until another incident that Caroline learns the true situation behind that story with which she took with a grain of salt. This discovery places the two of them at a crossroads, where Adam would rather risk his life rather than risk losing Caroline's love.
