Teacher Ben Stewart is enjoying his second chance at a happy life. His ex-wife, Vanessa Landry, is thriving in rehab, his relationship with his former father-in-law is strong, and his daughter is flourishing. Plus, he’s head over heels in love. The cherry on top? An invitation to return to Sprucedale Community School. All he needs is Vanessa’s signature. But just as his plan is taking shape, tragedy strikes, pulling Ben and Vanessa into a temporary partnership.
With Sprucedale’s new campus location at stake, Vanessa faces a tough decision: make amends for her past by supporting the school, or keep her father’s company safe in Landry hands. She needs Ben’s support, even if it comes at Sprucedale’s expense.
Meanwhile, Ben’s girlfriend is tired of living in the shadows. She demands Ben come clean to Vanessa about their relationship, or risk losing her for good.
Can Ben be everything to everyone without sacrificing his second chance at happiness?
