Charles "Chance" Endicott is a Police Chief of small town, Round River, who likes to also go on patrol with his officers. Though confident in his job, he lacks self-esteem when it comes to looking at himself in the mirror. A painful past broke him down and he doubts his worth as a man, as a person. Evan Manetti is a lawyer who wants to get away from the big city life as a partner in a lucrative law firm to settle down and open his own practice in Round River. Oh, yeah, he's also the town's new Mayor. And he's trying to keep his past as far away from him as possible. One encounter paves the way for a formidable friendship that gives them the basis for what both men truly need - love and each other.
