Herself a product of the foster care system, Annie has learned to count on no one but herself. When she enlists Nick to train a stray mutt, cracks begin to form in the walls of her defenses. But the emerging feelings emerge are threatened by Nick's inability to come to terms with the past.Can a courageous Malamute help a belligerent boy who doesn't feel safe anywhere in the world, a woman afraid to put her trust in anyone, a man scarred by conflict, and a mangy mutt unsure of everything and everyone, find their way into each other's hearts to discover the love that binds?
