Two guardian angels. A family torn apart by tragedy. And a fragile line between saving others and losing oneself...
For decades, fifty-nine-year-old Rosie Paige has defined her existence by helping others. But after the recent death of her father, she finds herself living a ghost of a life—clinging to the edges of her younger sister's happiness while searching for a direction of her own… one that arrives in the raw public heartbreak of Josephine, a grieving stranger whose world is falling apart.
Plunging headlong into Josephine's shattered life, Rosie uncovers a devastating chain of events: a husband killed in a sudden accident, and a traumatized teenage daughter, Haley, running from a grief she cannot comprehend. But as she struggles to bring this family back from the brink, Rosie has another concern: Melissa, a young woman who is determined to help her at any cost. A woman Rosie desperately wishes to shield from the traumas they uncover.
As their search for Haley forces them onto an evening bus bound for a remote, dead-end town, the relentless weight of the crisis begins to take a terrifying toll. When the mounting setbacks and Josephine's sudden slips into a non-verbal state of shock push them to their limits, can Rosie and Melissa help each other before they're both pulled under?
To reunite this broken family and guide them safely home, Rosie must face a raw truth that she struggles to accept. She cannot carry the world alone...
