Does going home mean living with the past—or living down the past? The death of teenager Bobby Compton shocked the community of Rivermist, Georgia. It also destroyed the lives of Neal Cain and Jennifer Gardner. Neal was sent to prison, and Jennifer's life spiraled out of control until the birth of her daughter forced her to grow up. Now, eight years later, Neal has come home to help his ailing father. Jennifer, a single mother, is also back, trying to make a go of things. Neal and Jennifer were in love when they were teenagers, and those feelings haven't gone away. But they're different people, shaped by everything that's happened. They can't change the past. Can they still have a future?
