description: Twenty-eight year old waitress Megan Carter dreams of a different life, far away from Zach Allen, who’s wanted to date her since high school. Zach truly loves Megan, but he can’t let go of his party boy persona long enough to show her he’s serious. As soon as she graduates beauty school, she plans to walk away and leave him behind for good. When Zach’s stepsister Larissa disappears, her teenage daughter Kelsey shows up on Megan’s doorstep asking to crash for a few days. Convinced Larissa is in danger, Megan begrudgingly enlists Zach’s help. She starts to trust him and opens her heart, but before long she realizes he’s still struggling for sobriety and clinging to his past mistakes. How can she forgive him when he refuses to change? Will Kelsey's dad find her and lure her into his life of sex trafficking and degradation? Can Megan and Zach overcome their differences and help Kelsey? Will they find their own path to happiness, find Larissa, and stop Kelsey's dad before it's too late?
