Melody's work as a hospice nurse gives her life purpose while simultaneously rips her heart out. Her latest client, who treated her more like a beloved daughter, left her his lakeside bungalow. Melody seizes the opportunity for a real home that she fantasized about when in foster care complete with a cantankerous mutt. Her happy residence comes to an abrupt halt when her benefactor's neglectful nephew, Levi, reappears. A bomb shattered his leg and life, which leaves the wounded warrior in need of sanctuary. The will specifies they both have to cohabit the house for twelve months to inherit. It's a shame they won't survive the year.
