Nate Hill is a rising star in Hollywood and everyone wants a piece of him. He's enjoyed all the attention...until now.
Feeling lost and alone, he sneaks away from his slave-driver-of-an-agent and flies home to Beaver Hill, Texas for a much needed break. Upon his arrival, he's delivered news that sends him reeling, and he feels more lost and alone than ever.
Emily Conrad and her two young children are experiencing their own emotional turmoil. Emily's husband has run off and left them alone without a word or reason why, leaving Emily to pick up the pieces and pay the mortgage on the ranch and home that she thought they'd been happy in.
With no place to stay, Nate settles in at the Conrad ranch in exchange for ranch work. He soon discovers that maybe Emily and her cute kids have more to offer him than just room and board.
Nate and Emily are both faced with questions that they don't know how to answer. Will Emily's husband come home? Should Nate return to Hollywood, even though he's feeling like he's finally found a place to call home? Will Jake, the other man in Emily's life, let her go?
Sometimes we all need to go home, to go back to the place where we started, so that we can find ourselves again.
