Twelve years ago, Zach Rundle's brother Josh killed Lindsey Salinger's mother in a tragic DUI incident. Though Lindsey desired Zach back then as a teen and he wanted her; that deadly accident cut off any ties between them. That is until now.
A social worker, Lindsey calls Zach because his sibling has run away, leaving behind his five-year-old son Owen with the lad's aging grandmother. Zach thinks Lindsey is using his nephew to get back at the Rundles. However, he reappraises his initial assessment when he observes how kind she is with Owen. Meanwhile, the teen attraction between them remains hotter as adults, but though he wants to bury the past and move into a future with her, she fears the impact a relationship with her beloved would have on her widower dad, recuperating from heart surgery.
The tragedy links their families in ways that make a loving relationship between the caring lead pair almost impossible as none of their relatives, except for Owen, would want such a connection. The storyline is character-driven by predominantly Zach and Lindsey, while her father, her deceased mom, his sibling and Owen add depth to a tale that borders on soap operaish; but Amy Knupp due to her powerful cast instead provides a deep family drama.
