Dylan Watkins married the love of his life ten years ago. 

Five years ago, he lost the love of his life in a tragic car accident. His son Noah, however, survived the accident. 

Now, Dylan's only reason for living is his son. His priority is his son's well-being, and he makes no secret about it. 

Dylan's parents, who also adored Maddy, think it's time for Dylan to get back to living life instead of staying home for Noah. 

Vice President of the Watkins Group, a development firm started by his father, Dylan, works from home most of the time, stating he needs to be available for Noah whenever he needs him. Dylan's mother thinks Noah needs a mother and that Dylan is too young to spend the rest of his life as a widower. She recognizes that no one could ever replace Maddy, but she also acknowledges that Dylan and Noah aren't healing as well as they could be living their isolated lives.  Dylan isn't a fan of his mother's interference and attempts to set him up with various women.  After all, no one can replace Maddy, and Dylan doesn't even want to try. 

Until a delivery girl shows up on his doorstep one evening. And then shows up again to deliver another package. And then in the offices of the Watkins Group. 

Could it be a coincidence? Could it be fate? 

Or could it be someone who can help Dylan pick up the pieces of his life?

They were three brothers-hearts full of love, now fractured by tragedy. Ever since the day they lost their mother, their hearts have carried a quiet storm-grief buried beneath unspoken rage, all directed at the one man they once trusted most: their father. And yet, the father remains close-waiting in silence, hoping for a moment, longing for the day his sons will finally let him speak... to reveal the truth that's been buried beneath years of pain. Far away, a girl mourns the loss of her mother-the only family she ever had. In a single moment, she becomes an orphan... even though she knows she has a father who doesn't even know she exists... and the half-brothers who have no idea she was ever born. Her mother never hid the truth, but told it gently, not to place blame, only to help her understand. There were villains in their story, yes... but her parents were not among them. They were both victims of a cruel plan that tore lives apart. And so, her mother raised her with love and with a warning: "He already has a family. Don't go searching for a place where you don't belong." But destiny doesn't listen to warnings. Now, she finds herself in the very house her mother once warned her never to enter. A place heavy with old wounds and buried truths. Among people who see her not for who she is, but for the past she represents. To them, she is nothing more than a living echo of a mistake... a shadow of a history they'd rather forget. In this home, acceptance is a distant dream and survival may be the only thing she can hope for. But sometimes, even a mistake can become the reason to heal something which is broken. Born from a cruel twist of fate... Raised in silence. Can she mend the family which is on the verge of destruction?
