Premise

After a perfect outing with her boyfriend, Kenna (Maika Monroe) makes an unbearable mistake resulting in a car crash that sends her to prison. Seven years later, Kenna returns to her hometown in Wyoming, hoping to rebuild her life and earn the chance to reunite with her young daughter Diem (Zoe Kosovic) whom she has never known.

When Diem's custodial grandparents (Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford) adamantly refuse Kenna’s attempts to see her daughter, Kenna discovers unexpected compassion, and then something truer and deeper, with former NFL player and local bar owner Ledger (Tyriq Withers).

As their secret romance develops, so do the dangers for both of them, leading Kenna toward heartbreak and, ultimately, the hope for a second chance.
