While jogging in a park nearby, she witnesses the shooting of an FBI agent in pursuit of wanted criminals, a couple identified as the Landrys. The only person to see the shooters face, Ellie is suddenly at the center of a criminal investigation. Agent Max Daniels takes over the Landry case. A no-nonsense lawman, hes definitely not the ideal man that Ellie has always imagined, yet shes attracted to him in a way she cant explain. Ellie heads home to Winston Falls, South Carolina, to attend her sisters wedding. Shortly after she arrives, though, she receives a surprise visitor Max Daniels.
