The One You're With

Everyone lives a day differently… and sometimes the lives of the people living that day intersect.

​

As Doc Delaney prepares for his annual party on Christmas Eve in Lake Caywood, so do Jack and Amelia Porter, Ruby Gallagher, and Jasper Lane. The season is one that should be full of wonder and merriment, but a specific box on the page of a calendar doesn’t necessarily eliminate the secrets that exist in a town, nor does it prevent unexpected truths from being shared. Over the course of twenty-four hours, the lives of several locals are changed for both the better and the worse—just in time for the holidays.

Kick It One More Time

Sebastian Porter is coasting through life when an accident brings his plans to a standstill. He returns to his hometown of Lake Caywood and is confronted with not only a painful recovery, but a painful past that has haunted him for years. Forced to navigate a complicated relationship with his father, Bas finds himself a stranger in his childhood home. With a future step-mother and step-sister living under the same roof, he wonders if Martha is merely another conquest for his father. As Martha helps Bas in his recovery, he thinks often of his own mama, who died when he was young.

Fearful that his parents’ history will dictate his actions, Bas questions whether or not he will make the same mistakes as his father… especially in regards to his childhood best friend, Lucy, whom he hurt many years ago.

Lucy wants nothing to do with Sebastian Porter. Having finally healed from that previous heartache, she has moved on from the boy who left her behind. She is happy with her new boyfriend, Chet, and the life she has made for herself in Lake Caywood. But when the magical maple tree in her yard signifies that Bas has returned, Lucy questions whether or not the scabbed-over wounds ever truly healed.

As Bas nurses his physical wounds, he finds that the emotional ones—both the ones he carries and the ones he made—hurt every bit as much.

The Way Back

Philadelphia, PA

“When you know, you know” is how Piper had rationalized her rushed engagement when she broke the news over the phone. Now, only a few months later, Jane is packing her bags and heading west to partake in festivities leading up to her cousin’s wedding.

Radio Park, OR

It’s not that Ansel doesn’t approve of his daughter’s fiance; it’s just that Piper and Max have been dating for less than a year. The decision to marry seems rushed. These worries would typically prove a distraction to Ansel, but he’s been a bit preoccupied by the compass tattooed on his right wrist. The needle, impossibly, continues to spin.

Moonglow, NC

Jonny has the ring and the girl, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t seem to form the words “Will you marry me?” The reason for this, he realizes, is because he’s unable to forget the woman he met all those years ago while passing through Denver. The problem? With the exception of knowing her hometown (Radio Park) and her first name (Piper), he has very little to go on. Nevertheless, these trivial details are enough to persuade Jonny to purchase a plane ticket and head west.

Will Jonny and Piper’s paths intersect… and if so, what direction will they take?

Time Jumps

The Kincaid family doesn’t have much, but they pride themselves on having each other. Always close, Emory Kincaid’s children have a friendship in addition to their siblingship—especially his twins, Rowan and Jameson. However, the summer that Ro and Jamie turn eighteen creates a rift in their relationship that impacts the entire family.

As time passes, the distance between Jameson and his family intensifies. Physically, the young man is right there in front of them… but his troubled thoughts keep him distant. Jamie yearns for the ability to travel backwards through time. He yearns to once again be that boy he was before turning eighteen.

But what if there’s a way to venture back through the hours?

What if there’s a way to revisit the past?

Like A Flip Turn

Three women…three generations…the truth swimming in the distance.

Lydia Franklin is starting middle school and is experiencing the choppy waves of friendship. Having spent her childhood along the banks of Lake Caywood, splashing and palling around with Sam Finley, she now wants to steer clear of the boy she once called a friend. The reason for this, however, is a mystery even to her.

Jenny Johnson left Seattle with one goal: to forget the relationship that she lost. Having settled into her position as an English teacher at the local middle school, Jenny should be moving forward, but she finds that she’s treading water, struggling to make new connections and friends in a place that is so unfamiliar.

Ruby Gallagher’s home atop the hill is at the center of a town debate. The truth behind why she refuses to sell is a story she won’t share with just anyone, and as Petey Goode investigates, it becomes clear that Ruby’s story has the words to explain not only her own truth, but Jenny and Lydia’s as well.
