They recruit Grady Benson, a former Olympic skier passing through town. Grady damages property during an argument and must perform community service by assisting Quinn. She finds him reckless and entitled. He considers her rigid and controlling. They work together hammering and sawing. Quinn discovers vulnerability beneath Grady's swagger.

She must confront the pain that has shaped her choices and learn to release her grip on the past.
