Sean Riggins made into college on a fluke. He promised his girlfriend he'd go and be the football god he was destined to be. Only he hates college. Hates it so much, he's decided to quit and go home to Alabama. Until he meets Hattie Rae Bentley. She's beautiful and has a mouth that would make a sailor wince. She's hiding behind that mouth though. It's there as a defense. She's been hurt in her past and Sean has decided to try to help her as much as she's decided to kick his ass and make him realize he's worth the effort. That he's not just some hick from Alabama who drinks too much and gets wasted more than he's sober. She sees something in him. They've decided their exes are their beautiful mistakes and set out on a friendship that runs deeper than any they've ever had. But just when that friendship starts to turn into something else, those beautiful mistakes come back to haunt them. The question is, will those mistakes destroy what they've built?
