Returning to the safety of her hometown may be the most dangerous decision she’s made yet.
 
Ellison (Elle) Dean was the type of girl who never backed down from a challenge. She chased her dream of making it big in New York's elite art sector, but two years in the cut-throat industry has shattered her confidence and creative passion. Looking for a fresh start, Ellison returns to the comfortable familiarity of small town Plymouth, Michigan in hopes of starting over and reviving her love of the arts. 
 
Landing an art contract at the popular Plymouth coffee house, The Busy Beanery, is exactly what Elle needed to boost her spirits. Excited about the opportunity to make a name for herself in this friendly midwestern town, Elle believes she is finally taking a step in the right direction. That is until she bumps into the irritatingly charming Marx, who is captivated by her spunky personality and natural beauty. Marx can’t seem to fight the urge to rile Ellison up which complicates her new business venture and the relationship she has with her best friend Daniel (Danny) Thomas.
 
Danny is a no-nonsense, no-strings type of guy. He learned at a young age that love only leads to pain. Hardened by past experiences, he keeps his life simple and his relationships uncomplicated. That all changes after accident-prone Ellison Dean moves back to Michigan unknowingly stirring up his past. When Danny learns Ellison is missing, old wounds resurface threatening to shatter his already fractured heart. 
 
Ellison is now faced with the biggest challenge of her life ... surviving.
