After a car accident takes her parents, Leeann is taken in by Dallas, a longtime family friend who becomes her guardian. Over the years, she falls in love with him, but Dallas keeps rejecting her, insisting it is to protect her.
What Leeann does not know is that Dallas suspects his own family may be responsible for her parents' deaths. The more she pushes for a real relationship, the more he pulls away, until his silence breaks her heart and she leaves. Dallas is left with a choice: keep the truth buried and lose her forever, or expose his family and risk everything to bring her back.
