**It's been a year since Evvie Drake's husband died, but she still can't leave the house.** Her best friend Andy thinks it's because she's grieving, and she does nothing to make him think otherwise.  
  
Dean Tenney was once a sports star. Now he's a former sports star who has lost his ability to throw a ball better than anyone else, and he can't even explain why.  
  
When Dean moves into the apartment at the back of Evvie's house, the two make a deal: Dean won't ask about Evvie's dead husband, and Evvie won't ask about Dean's failed career.  
  
**But as Dean and Evvie grow closer, could it be that these rules are the one thing in the way of them starting over?**
