For 18 years, Jilly Moore believed in love, in marriage, in building a home worth coming back to.
And then her husband left.
Kael Taylor walked out with a suitcase and a cold "I'm leaving you, not the boys," leaving behind two sons who don't know how to forgive him-
Max, 17,angry at the world, drowning in all the love he never got.
Noah, 14, still calling his father just to whisper "I love you" to a dead line.
Now it's just Jilly and her boys, holding together a house that feels too quiet... until she finally opens her dream restaurant, Bistro Jilly, and learns that life after goodbye doesn't end-it changes.
