Grace Dillon runs a flower shop in Thunder Point, Oregon, having left behind her career as a champion figure skater.

The two begin spending time together, enjoying their uncomplicated relationship. Everything changes when Grace's skating past resurfaces in ways that threaten her new life. She knows Troy never agreed to handle her baggage from the competitive skating world. As Grace prepares to lose him, Troy discovers his feelings run deeper than friendship.
