Kenna returns to Wyoming after prison hoping to meet the daughter she has never been allowed to raise. The girl’s grandparents refuse contact, but Kenna finds support from Ledger, a former football player who runs a local bar and is already close to the family. Their secret relationship puts him between the people who trust him and a woman asking to be known for more than the accident that killed her boyfriend.
