Pregnant with Bobby Hartwig’s child, Thai nurse Silliporn tracks him down in Alabama, where, after surviving a jump from a bridge in Bangkok, Bobby’s back home taking care of stroke-victim Harold Suggs and falling in love with his gorgeous granddaughter Bee. As Silliporn finds unexpected love, as Harold learns to walk again, and as Bee herself becomes ripe with child, a rattled Bobby Hartwig sorts his scattered marbles, unraveling the haunting mystery of his shellshocked father, missing since the Suggs’ barn burned all those years ago.
