Leo Braddock is a recent widow and single mom returning to her hometown twenty years after she ran away. She plans to refurbish and reopen her family's motel, which has sat derelict since her mother's death. But a real-estate developer is trying to claim the property, and he means to oust Leo any way he can. While she's trying to build a new life for herself and her son from the detritus of her past, Leo must find a way to save the home she'd fled. She won't be able to do it alone.
