Synopsis

Allen and Grace Brewer are grief-stricken after the death of their older son, Bennett, in a car crash. When a young woman, Rose, shows up a few months later announcing that she is pregnant with Bennett's child, the Brewers are forced to take her in. At first, Rose's presence threatens to tear the family even further apart, but, eventually, her interaction with each of the Brewers proves to be the very thing that brings them back together.
