Max non riesce a lasciarsi alle spalle il passato: la dipendenza dalla droga, la fine della sua storia con Lizzie - la donna di cui era follemente innamorato e che non è capace di dimenticare - e la perdita del loro figlio. Dopo un periodo di disintossicazione in clinica, e dopo aver imparato a esplorare le sue paure più profonde e ad affrontare i tremendi incubi che lo tormentano ogni notte, Max decide di mollare tutto e trascorrere qualche mese in una cittadina in mezzo ai boschi. E lontano dalla metropoli, lontano dalle tentazioni, incontra Grace. Con il suo innato ottimismo e il suo amore per l'arte e la fotografia, sembra essere la ragazza perfetta. Nessuno per ora sa da dove venga, o perché sia così riservata riguardo al proprio passato. Nel corso del tempo, grazie alle ore trascorse a correre insieme lungo i sentieri di montagna e a un'attrazione sempre crescente, Max e Grace iniziano ad avvicinarsi l'un l'altra. Ma lui sarà ancora in grado di aprire il suo cuore e farsi travolgere dall'amore?
