Peter and Rosemary are forced to work together, to live together, and to become the adults they've only been pretending to be.As the days stranded turn to weeks, then months, Rosemary and Peter begin to wonder if they're really ready for a future together - and what they will do if they can't get back.Then someone brings them a watch, powered by a battery, made in Taiwan.
