  What Jordan doesn't realize is that he needs love too -- and Scotland is just the woman to give it to him. Despite his attempts to settle some unfinished business before he pursues a relationship, Jordan falls hard for the beautiful teacher. It doesn't take long for Scotland to figure out that Jordan is holding something back. But when Scotland walks away from their relationship, will Jordan find the strength to free himself from the past that he has held on to for so long?
