Caitlin Schuster has all the material possessions anyone could want, but with her thirty-ninth birthday approaching and a husband who is never home, she feels desperately unfulfilled. To occupy her time, she sets up a house for a young man who was recently released from prison, hoping to give him a fresh start. Not only does she find herself sympathizing with him, but she can't deny the attraction she has for him.

However, things aren't always as they seem, and Caitlin is about to embark on a journey that is far more tumultuous than she could have ever imagined.
