Synopsis
Sometimes, coming home means facing the things you left behind—and discovering new reasons to stay. When Mitch and Zach take the kids on a muddy, laughter-filled hunt, it’s just the start of a season of change: a brother’s secret heartbreak, a reluctant journey to Silver Hollow, and the ache of goodbyes no one wants to say. As babies are born and old wounds resurface, Mitch returns to find Taylor—his heart and home—changed by his absence. But love, like family, is messy, stubborn, and worth every sacrifice. Will Mitch’s homecoming heal the gaps between brothers, generations, and lovers? Or will the price of growing up be letting go of the childhood that kept them safe? When the past and future collide around the family table, only one question remains: can love hold everyone together, or will change pull them apart?
