In love for the first time, a son’s decision about the future divides his family.

When eighteen-year-old Tommy Baxter tells his family that he wants to be a police officer, his mother, Reagan, won’t hear of it.

But conflict arises when Tommy’s father, Luke, approves of his son's decision. After all, Tommy would make a kind and compassionate cop.

Meanwhile, Tommy is in love for the first time. His sweet relationship with Annalee Miller is almost too good to be true. Tommy begins seriously thinking about the far-off day when he might propose, but Annalee hasn’t been feeling well lately. Medical tests come to reveal the unthinkable.

Secrets come to light that rock Tommy’s world, and he becomes determined to spend his future fighting crime and making his community safer.
