Francis David Castle lives alone, finally isolating himself after years of constant, tormenting pain.
His solitary ranch out West is far enough away from proper, bustling, civilisation - meaning he is almost always left in complete, numbing, silence. Well, at least until a group of friends from New York City show up at his local gas station, lost on their road trip.
Seeing as he works on the ranch, he begrudgingly helps them out, showing them to it and helping them locate the house they've rented out. Unfortunately for him, one of the girls - Stella Cooper-Sinclair - likes to crack people open like a suitcase and dig through the contents. In other words, she is very much a people person. Frank, on the other hand, is not.
It's no surprise that Frank gets fed up with her pretty quickly - after all, they are complete opposites, a cowboy and an angel. But, when Stella responds to Frank's cold nature in a way he hasn't seen in almost 10 years, he is, for the first time in a while, unsure of what to do. Unsure of how he feels.
Why does he now crave human connection, when he finally got the peace that he wanted? Why is he being drawn back to a city he finally had the courage to leave? And why, after all these years, does he feel that sharp pull of desire that he thought he buried tugging at his chest?

Monkey see and monkey do, their wish is your command" - George Michael.
