While the close-knit rural community struggles to accept the presence of a convicted killer, Mark discovers friendship, warmth and an unexpected feeling of belonging. When love strikes from out of nowhere, he can’t believe his good fortune. Has he escaped both his reputation and his crimes? Or is he really a man that no one should love?                           

As Mark finally allows himself to believe in his capacity for renewal, he discovers the awful truth…
