30 Days Until Divorce tells the contractmarriage story of Claire Bennett, a Chicago independent bookstore owner, and Nathan Hawthorne, a hotel CEO. Thirty days before their twoyear contract expires, Claire receives divorce notice and believes the reserved Nathan has never loved her. Her friend Owen offers her a new life in New York. As the countdown unfolds, Nathan’s jealousy, quiet devotion and surrender of all marital assets reveal the truth: he loved Claire long before the contract, staying silent for fear of trapping her. After misunderstandings, marriage counseling and family tests, Claire cancels divorce. Free from contractual bonds, they communicate openly, complete permanent marriage registration and become life partners by true choice.
