About

A Chicago transit worker saves a commuter she admires, then is mistaken for his fiancée by his family while he lies in a coma.

Lucy Moderatz (Sandra Bullock) works for the Chicago Transit Authority as a token collector. She has a quiet infatuation with Peter Callaghan (Peter Gallagher), a commuter she sees regularly but has never met. On Christmas Day, muggers push Peter onto the train tracks, and Lucy pulls him to safety. She goes with the unconscious Peter to the hospital, where his family mistakes her for his fiancée. Surprised but grateful, the Callaghans welcome her, and Lucy does not correct them. She is especially worried about upsetting Peter's grandmother Elsie (Glynis Johns), who has a heart condition. Peter's brother Jack (Bill Pullman) is not convinced she is who she claims to be.
