Dylan and Rhett were childhood best friends-ride or die, thick as thieves-but time and distance have a way of changing things, as well as stubborn pride and the inability to express certain feelings. They tried to stay in touch, but it became increasingly difficult as their lives went in very separate ways. Teenagers grow up into adults, and sometimes they grow apart. She went to art school in New York City and got engaged. He enlisted in the Army as a combat engineer. Over a decade after their high school graduation, both are back living in their hometown for the first time, and they're both dealing with their own mountains to climb. Dylan broke things off with her abusive ex-fiance. Rhett lost a leg in Afghanistan. Will they get back what they used to have, or will something more blossom now that they're all grown up? Can they help each other heal?
