Trucker by trade. Daddy by inheritance. The Cal Reeves spends most of his time on the road and is used to being a loner. With only his dog, Burrito at his side, he drives cross-country for his job. His sister’s death brings him back to his hometown of Michigan and his past friends, the Bad Boys of Sweetwater. It is here that he discovers written in his sister’s will, he’s been named as guardian of her baby, Magnolia. He’s no daddy, and totally at a loss with what to do with a baby! With a shipment to deliver, he has no choice but to bring little Maggie with him as he makes his way back to Texas. However, Cal can’t stop the baby from crying and needs help. At Maggie’s daycare, he hires one of the workers as a nanny to ride along with him and take care of the child. He doesn’t even recognize Tuesday (Twiggy) Twaggard, a girl he’s briefly dated in high school that used to be as skinny as a rail. Twiggy was a nice girl and didn’t deserve what he did to her. Now he’s about to bring old memories back to life and is not sure it will go well at all when he decides to come clean with his past actions. The Tuesday Twaggard has been infatuated with her late friend’s brother, Cal Reeves ever since high school. She went on one date with him, later finding out it was done on his part only because of a bet. It was the worse night of her life to find out she was the brunt of a joke. Now Cal is back in town and has just hired her as a ride-along nanny without even realizing her identity. She goes with him for the baby’s sake, but part of her wants him to pay for what he did so many years ago. If only he wasn’t even more handsome than ever, maybe this wouldn’t be so hard. A man, a woman, a baby, and a dog start off on a trip that turns into something more than a one-time job. Will the close quarters drive them crazy or bring them together? Can bygones be forgiven and forgotten, and will they both be reminded how precious love and life really are when a harrowing event threatens to take it all away? Guest appearances by some of the Bad Boys of Sweetwater.
