Synopsis

Returning home was never part of the plan for Callie Bernal, but when it’s clear her mother’s health is in steady decline, she returns to a place filled with memories she’d rather forget. Taking a job at her old high school feels like another unwanted step into the past, and places her directly in the path of Grant Stokes, the high school football coach.

Grant Stokes’ primary goal in life is to raise his daughter with the love and stability he never had. Between coaching, teaching, and parenting, his plate is full. But when forces beyond his control and the gentle persistence of his daughter keep pushing Callie into his orbit, he begins to see that maybe it’s time to make room for something more.

As Callie and Grant find themselves entangled in unexpected ways, old wounds resurface, and they learn that healing isn’t about forgetting the past, but discovering and creating new patterns of forgiveness and love.
