Everyone in town including her best friend Andy thinks grief keeps her locked inside and she doesn't correct them. In New York Dean Tenney former major-league pitcher and Andy's childhood friend is struggling with a case of the yips: he can't throw straight anymore and he can't figure out why. An invitation from Andy to stay in Maine for a few months seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button.When Dean moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie's house the two make a deal: Dean won't ask about Evvie's late husband and Evvie won't ask about Dean's baseball career.
