Unable to return to her real love, flying, she takes a job in Rhode Island coaching a girls' soccer team, where she meets Mac, an amputee vet and his service dog. Facing his bullying father, Mac and Johanna team up to save Mac's farm. Mac's dysfunctional family, an adversarial coach and a disturbed veteran endanger Johanna's emotional stability.
