Strangers in a crowd, exchanging glances, looking away, continually managing to run into each other then part ways, end up at the same diner, find they've rented the exact same vehicles, and are then made to travel together to learn once more whether they can both find genuine adoration and companionship again.

The Franke kids seemingly lived a normal life, until their mom met the infamous Jodi Hilderbrandt.
