After weathering another stunning disappointment from her mom, Molly leaves to track down her long-lost father, rejecting her smitten friend Daniel's heartfelt attempts to help. But just as Molly settles down with her father and a promising new family, her father is accused of murdering his best friend and business partner. Despite the hurt she's caused him, Molly successfully pleads with Daniel to join her on the case. Residing under the same roofand the watchful, caring eyes of her new familyMolly and Daniel surrender to passion even as the case for the defense grows increasingly bleak.
