Years later, the tables have turned. Amber’s dream life has shattered into divorce and struggle, leaving her to raise two children alone. Josh, meanwhile, has built everything she once craved — a thriving career, a comfortable life, a future carved from discipline and sacrifice.
When a phone call drags him into Amber’s world again, Josh is stunned: she has fallen ill, and of all people, she has named him her next of kin. Against his better judgment, he steps back into her orbit. The woman who once left him now wants him back — but with her comes a past of broken choices, two children who need a father, and a haunting question that tests his every conviction.
