With her daughter finishing her senior year aboard, Annie decides the only place to find her new place in the world is to head home, back to Mystic Lake. A place she escaped right after her first love Nick Delacroix chose her best friend instead of her. Upon return home, Annie falls back into old routines, taking care of Nick's little girl who has been left behind after her mother's suicide and her father's drunken decline.
