Paul (Brendan Penny) is a widower and single father to Cody (Azriel Dalman) and owns a ski shop in Park City, Utah. When he receives a call from the adoption agency, he realizes he is at an emotional crossroads. Feeling overwhelmed, he initially turns down the adoption agency’s request, as he hasn’t told Cody that he is adopted and doesn’t feel this is the right time.
However, as fate would have it, Maddy and Wesley go to visit her parents, Frances (Laura Soltis) and Charles (Cameron Bancroft) at their home in Park City, Utah. While there, they find themselves in Paul’s store. The following day, when Wesley and Cody meet in ski school, an incredible bond is forged between them.
As the newfound friendship grows, so does the spark between their parents. When Paul realizes that Cody’s best friend is his brother, he immediately pulls back, until Jeremy (Edward Ruttle), his best friend, helps him realize he cannot deny his son his own family, potentially making two broken families whole again.
