Lark, a once-fearless aid worker, comes home shaken after a harrowing overseas ordeal and retreats to the Shipley family's Vermont orchard to recover from her nightmares. There she leans on Zach, a soft-spoken farmhand who escaped a restrictive religious cult as a teenager and carries his own quiet wounds. Working side by side through the apple harvest, their wary friendship slowly warms into something deeper as each helps the other heal. It's a tender, small-town romance about two survivors learning to trust again.
