When Tate Kendrick shows up in Holly, NC at Emma's bar, she doesn't know what to do with herself. She is still hurting from when he left her years ago, even though she was the one to push him away. However, when her bartender - also the building owner's daughter - gives Tate a room above the bar and he helps out during open hours, she is inclined to give him a shot. There are things going on in town, though, that are more sinister then either of them realize.
