A reformed bully who runs a program for at-risk kids must face his lingering self-worth issues when the woman he never forgot comes home and reminds him that redemption includes loving himself. Haley, known for her sunshine personality, left town ten years earlier. She gained a better understanding of herself following her recent autism diagnosis and returns home to be mentored, her first project involving ABT. Her warmth and honesty reignite a connection with Mike that never fully faded. As Haley embraces who she is and sees Mike for the good man he has become, she challenges his belief that his past defines his worth. Together, they learn that growth, love, and second chances are not just possible, but deserved.
