Adam Miller, a retired NFL quarterback, has come back to Compass Cove to start over after an injury puts an end to his high-octane life. Though his hometown has given him time and space to heal, Adam has a hard time shedding his bad boy image.

In between their jobs, nosy friends and family who sometimes are well meaning and their own demons to conquer, Mia and Adam find themselves very far from the happily ever after they are trying to pursue.
