Her life hasn't shaped up to what she envisioned and she's lonely. After leaving the military riddled with mental and physical scars, Ben doesn't know who he is or where he belongs and on impulse reaches out to the only woman he's ever loved. Will Allie be able to forgive Ben for breaking her heart? Will Ben be able to let go of his demons and completely let Allie in? Or will they be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?
