Ten-year-old Daniel has had a rough year. His mother's
unexpected death has landed him in a small South Carolina
town, in the custody of his uncle, elementary school
principal Joshua White. Josh is a pro when it comes to
dealing with other people's kids, but he can't get through
to Daniel.
The only other child in the school who's having a worse time
is Daniel's classmate Becky. Her mother, Amy Loar, left a
troubled marriage and is now fighting to rebuild her career
in Atlanta while Becky stays with her grandmother in Sweetbrook.
Amy and Josh were friends as teenagers...with a hint of
something more. Now they find themselves thrown together as
they try to help Becky and Daniel. Coming together as a
family would be the best thing for the children -- but can
Amy ever trust a man again?
