A former NFL player turned coach works as a full-time single dad, managing a college team while trying to establish stability for his daughter in his coastal hometown of Outtatowner, Michigan. He is determined not to develop feelings for his new neighbor, Lark Butler, despite her chaotic and captivating presence. Lark arrives in town working as a paid mourner at funerals. As the two become entangled in local drama—including a decades-old feud that two aunties are working to resolve—an unexpected attraction develops between them. A kiss ignites intense chemistry neither anticipated. However, complications arise: he struggles to trust her, and she has a pattern of leaving. As their connection deepens, it threatens the carefully ordered life he has built for his daughter, forcing him to confront what he wants for himself.
