Meet Starr, a mother of two boys, dealing with autism the best she can while reminiscing about a past love that refuses to stay in the rearview mirror. A hairdresser by day, she keeps her superhero special needs parent cape hidden within her drawers of rollers; she stands ready to protect her boys from everything, including the man from her younger days that have her wishing for a simpler time. Josiah, retired military, and currently on the hunt for the elusive ex-girlfriend. As a youth, bound by honor, courage and commitment; those days are far behind.

Can Starr and Josiah rekindle what was lost? Can Josiah understand the need required for being an autism parent?
