A man tore her life apart. A woman will help her put it back together...

Naomi Wells is no stranger to hardship. Beautiful as she may be, she's had her fair share of family issues in the past, and that's not counting the mental illness she had to overcome to get where she is.

So yes, if you asked her, she'd say she was finally due a break.

Instead, she got a front-row seat to the ultimate betrayal: catching her own husband, Nathan, in their bed with another woman.

Devastated, distraught, and defeated, Naomi makes a very controversial choice.

She reaches out to Nathan's ex-wife, Tess, for help.

It's pretty unconventional, but all her family and friends live in California, so Tess is the only person she really knows-or trusts -in Texas.

Their children are half-siblings, and Naomi and Tess have always been cordial, but their relationship was nothing compared to the bond that forms between them now.

In Tess, Naomi finds an unlikely source of help, a steady shoulder to rely on, a friend who's there to see her through every trial and tribulation.

So what if Nathan does not approve of their blossoming friendship? That's just a nice side-benefit.

Come to think of it, so is meeting Tess' brother, Rob...

Nathan might not be ready to let her go, but Naomi is not about to let his ego have the last word.

She was put through hell once. Now, she'll make sure she never goes back...
