Maggie, a fearless videographer, is pulled from her adventurous life back to Ivy, Texas, by a family crisis. Her estranged sister has left behind Riley, a troubled eight-year-old, and Maggie must step in. As she navigates the chaos, she clashes with Cooper, the local vet who might be the only one who can help. But Maggie's past haunts her, and trusting others is her greatest fear. Can she overcome her insecurities to save Riley and herself? In a town full of memories she'd rather forget, Maggie must decide if she can open her heart and find redemption.
