After serving time in prison, Kenna (Maika Monroe, who bore a resemblance to Jane Seymour) goes back to her hometown seeking employment. Finding work packing groceries at the supermarket proves difficult because of her past, but she manages to get hired. The reason for her incarceration is revealed early on: she and her former boyfriend, Scotty (Rudy Pankow), were involved in a car accident, which resulted in the birth of their daughter, Diem (Zoe Kosovic). Diem is being raised by Scotty’s parents, Grace (Lauren Graham) and Patrick (Bradley Whitford), along with his friend Ledger (Tyriq Withers), who functions as a sort of uncle figure. Kenna desires to reconnect with her child but understands that it will be challenging without support, so she begins to focus on Ledger, who was Scotty’s closest companion and someone she never previously met. He soon figures out the situation, and because he's also attracted to her, he may become the person who facilitates contact between her and Diem’s adoptive family. Pieces of Kenna’s history are revealed gradually to provide context for her circumstances, and we see letters she continues to write to Scotty, which add a layer of sentimentality as the plot unfolds in a rather predictable manner. The performances from Withers and Monroe don't generate much chemistry, and there is considerable repetition as their tentative connection develops within a film that also includes occasional power ballads performed by Lainey Wilson, making her acting debut. It’s not an awful movie; it’s simply unremarkable, and I doubt I will recall it anytime soon.
