Postpartum depression, single parenthood, her own childhood trauma, and her son's increasingly violent outbursts make Lisa feel like she's unraveling. Alone, with guilt weighing heavy on her mind and her path shrouded in uncertainty, she leaves her hometown in Oregon and ventures to Croatia, hoping for a fresh start. There, she meets Luka, a handsome man with a complex past. The partnership and love that Lisa builds with Luka helps her navigate the estranged familial relationships she left behind in Oregon, but as her feelings for Luka continue to develop, her past begins to resurface and she's forced to confront the secrets she's been keeping from him. Lisa's present in Croatia and her past in Oregon collide in this dramatic story of a young woman looking to make her life into something more.
