When Stewart Gilmour returns to his hometown for the funeral of Callum Murston, he learns about the suspicious circumstances surrounding his best mate's apparent suicide.

Stewart has history with Callum's sister, Ellie, and their father, Don Murston, has never forgiven him for breaking his daughter's heart.

He's determined to make the most of an opportunity most people never get - a second chance with his first love.
