The Village is reeling from the development news and plans to accommodate many new people. Family businesses are being stretched in new directions; friendships are challenged as they either love or despise this disruption to their routines and how to keep up with this sudden development in their community. As the buildings take shape on the horizon, new love, fresh starts, and brighter futures all take shape in new ways that people never expected.

Jameson, who works for the State of Michigan, is sent to inspect the new facility. He is a by-the-books guy which resonates with Easton, but makes the rest of the town bristle. This new establishment doesn’t work like other facilities around the state, and it irritates him, causing unrest within the establishment.

Laurel visits her grandmother, when she encounters Jameson at he facility. These two are about as friendly as feral cats in the streets of a big. She feels attacked by his questions, and he, in turn, is opening old wounds she doesn’t appreciate. Her grandmother made this move in an effort to force her into this world and away from full-time caregiving for herself. However, in her current state, everything feels overwhelming.

Can they find happiness in this unique facility? Can a man who never broke a rule help Laurel break all her own dictates for a happy ending neither could have predicted?
