With a constant ache in his chest, Caleb holds on to the grief of losing his wife. When the successful writer isn't working on his latest crime drama novel, he dedicates each day to their five-year-old daughter, Madison. The moment his sweet little girl walks into Miss Abby's kindergarten class, everything changes.
