After a rough divorce, farmer Stephen Landis lives a normal life living on his ranch in Idaho with his girlfriend Leah and her daughter, Roxanne. But life once again gets complicated for Stephen when his daughter Dulcie comes for a summer visit after having a fight with her mother. Stephen's absence as a father and failed marriage with Angela left Dulcie in a rebellious state as a troubled teenager. Stephen's ex-wife attempts to warn him of their daughter's disruptive behaviors, but combined with his feelings of guilt, the relationship threatens to ruin his present relationship and life with Leah. Dulcie and her father try to begin to heal their problems, but the damage may be too great to resolve and jeopardizes the chance of a bright future for either of them.[1] [2]
