Having carved out a comfortable lifestyle, they enjoy the simplicity of small ranch life. But when Ashley receives devastating news, she acts impulsively. Attending her 25-year high school reunion, Ashley hopes to reconnect with Austin Taylor-her high school sweetheart-the only man she's ever loved. Unfortunately, Ashley realizes too late that going back in time is not as easy as she thought. Austin spent years looking for Ashley.

But when he discovers Willow, one of their employees, is in an abusive relationship, he cannot idly stand by. C.J. decides to intervene-a move that could prove deadly. Survivors, Ashley and Austin, dare to recapture the love they once shared. Fighters, C.J. and Willow, must decide if love can be kindled in the most difficult of circumstances.
