description: All Shane Perkins ever wanted to be was a hero. But after a career-shattering decision to go down fighting Shane comes home from the hospital to four empty walls a pile of money and a burning desire for someone to miss him the next time he gets hurt in the line of duty. He ends up an officer in the small town of Levee Oaks and addicted to the promise of family he makes an effort to reconcile with his flighty troubled sister. Kimmy makes her living as a dancer and her partner steals Shane's breath at first sight. Mikhail Vasilyovitch Bayul dances like an angel but his past is less than heavenly. Since he left Russia he's made only two promises: to stay off the streets and stay clean and to take his mother someplace beautiful before she dies. Making promises to anybody else is completely out of the question-but then Mikhail has never met anybody like Shane. Earnest brave and self-deprecating Shane seems to speak Mikhail's language and no one is more surprised than Mikhail to find that keeping promises is Shane's best talent of all.
