What happens when you have spent the past few years building up walls to keep people out, and one person is able to tear them down completely? Mac has closely guarded himself, not letting anyone too close. Not even his closest friends know the depths to his fucked up home life, or his passions and desires outside football. Jess' parents have made it clear that being an author or a journalist is simply not an option. Jess, once determined to prove them wrong, may be starting to doubt herself on how good her abilities actually are. When Jess leaves her notebook at a retirement home and demands it back off of Mac, they form a connection they never thought possible.
