After the heart attack of their father, six siblings come back together in the small town of Refuge Falls to support and care for their parents. Noah, the oldest brother, and the prodigal son, comes home to discover that many resentments are in the wake of his eight years away.

Noah Armstrong didnt need to remember hed left town eight years ago to run away from the past. He didnt need his siblings rubbing it in his face. And he really didnt need his father guilt tripping him by having a heart attack! Fine, he would come home and meet up to his family obligations. He would stay a week and do his duty. But, that duty didnt include facing the very demons that had caused him to run eight years ago. He shouldnt have to do that. He WOULD NOT do that!

Ella Kind lost the only person she could truly rely on eight years ago; her twin brother. She has felt that loss every day of those eight years. She has never forgiven herself or anyone else for that loss. Why should she? It was her faultand the fault of Noah Armstrong. It was his fault too and if she never sees him again, it will be too soon. Too bad she runs into him at the hospital after his fathers heart attack and too bad　she tries to console him. Why would she do that?

When Noahs nephew gets hurt and Ella is the one on the front lines of helping him　things get complicated. Can the past be forgiven or will feelings buried down deep lead to more and more pain?

As six siblings reunite together, they must learn to let go of what doesn't matter and cling to family, friends and the refuge their town always gave them.
