Trish Maxwell is back in Speculator Falls with egg on her face and a lot of explaining to do as she left the mountain village a year ago for New York City without saying goodbye. Now she's living with her parents and working in the rural department store trying to figure out what is next. Wayne Peterson is a paramedic with a past. He's made a lot of improvements and likes being around Trish, but she has a track record for using people and leaving town. He has a son to consider. Can these two find their way with an unknown future?
