He is referred to Keller Ranch in Nashville, where he meets Maggie Keller, a no-nonsense rancher and single mother. Her son Dawson works as an equestrian-assisted therapist. Wes is initially skeptical of the therapy but is desperate to return to the ice. As he reluctantly participates, Maggie breaks down his walls, and he helps her heal from the grief of her husband's death. An unexpected romance blossoms between them, raising the question of whether it will last beyond the holiday season.
