Nikki and Tom become lovers, to the emotional distress of her neighbor Robin Williams, who has hoped to attract her interest romantically since the death of Garret, his friend. The strain of keeping Tom a secret from her friends and family, who would immediately recognize the uncanny resemblance, begins to wear on Nikki, Tom, and the relationship. Nikki is not alone in keeping secrets in the relationship. Tom, who is divorced foryears from his exwife yet still maintains a close friendship with her, does not tell Nikki he suffers from a severe heart ailment. When Nikkis adult daughter Summer visits unexpectedly, finding Tom at the house, she flies into a rage repulsed by Toms appearance. Tom believes her outrage is triggered simply by his presence. Tom, puzzled by the daughters reaction, accepts when Nikki asks him to fly off to Mexico with her. At a resort often visited by Garret and Nikki when they were married, Tom discovers a photo of Nikki and her husband by the bar, notices the resemblance and also realizes that a psychologically imbalanced Nikki has brought him to the very place her husband died. Tom confronts her with the resemblance and Nikki runs off into the raging surf, perhaps to commit suicide. She is rescued by Tom and they later hold one another in bed with the knowledge the relationship isnt based in anything more than his physical similarities to Garret and is doomed.A year later, Summer finds an art gallery card in Nikkis mail that turns out to be an invitation to a memorial display of Toms art. Tom has died of his heart condition but produced an outpouring of art in his last year. Nikki attends the reception hosted by Toms exwife and tearfully sees Toms painting of the two of them titled The Face of Love. ........
