Hailey Anderson works as a graphic designer at her family's business, a struggling North Carolina textile mill. She and her father don't agree on how to keep the mill in business. She gives up trying and moves to Colorado to live near her sister, Hope.
Months later, her father calls to ask for a special favor. He needs heart surgery and asks Hailey to run the mill in his place. Moving back would devastate her sister, Hope. Yet Hailey would have the chance to save the mill, and at a time when her father needs her most. And maybe he'd even approve of her for the first time in her life.
Despite self-doubt, Hailey returns to North Carolina. She struggles to make a difference at the mill, facing more challenges than she bargained for. Her attractive neighbor, Alex, is almost enough to outweigh the difficulties, but she doesn't know that in the shadows lurks someone who wants to destroy both her and the mill.
