Heidi insists on a pre-nuptial agreement to safeguard her fortune, which Jack gladly signs, but in the months that follow the gloss of the relationship suddenly tarnishes and Jack needs to find a way out without losing the lavish life-style being married to Heidi affords.
Divorce would leave Jack back where he started, poor and lonely.
