After a brutal assault leaves Steffi with puzzling memory lapses, she returns to her coastal Connecticut hometown to rebuild her life the best way she knows how: with her hands. But starting a remodeling business with one longtime friend puts her in the middle of a rift with another. Worse, being hired by her ex-boyfriend's mother forces her to confront old regrets. Public defender Ryan Quinn wasn't shocked when his wife left him, but he was floored when she abandoned their daughter. With his finances up in the air, the newly single dad returns to his childhood home in Sanctuary Sound. The last person he expects or wants to see working on his family house is Steffi Lockwood. Although Steffi and Ryan are different people now, dormant feelings rekindle. When Ryan's concern for Steffi's mental health prompts him to dig into her past for answers, will what he learns bring them together or tear them apart for good?
