Colliding into love- that's what most thought of when they saw Veronica Klark and Blake Darwood. Veronica and Blake were known as "the couple of Surpatch" and everyone assumed they were going to be together forever. Nothing could keep them apart, well, that is until it was time for Veronica to go away to college. Nine years later, after leaving Blake for the bright lights of a bigger city, Veronica is back. However, returning to the place she once called home with her new beau, Arthur Stentson isn't as easy as she hoped. Blake, choosing to stay in Surpatch where he would one day take his place as Mayor, spent years trying to pick up the pieces of his broken heart. Learning to live his life without Veronica was finally going just fine, and probably would have continued that way if she had just stayed away. Now, Veronica and Blake must learn to deal with their feelings from the past and untold dilemmas of the present.
