Afton's grandparents started a boutique, which she has struggled to keep in operation. She has been fighting for years to keep it afloat, but with the increase of crime in the city and decreased sales, she is beginning to question her determination. When Afton discovers an eco-tourism opportunity, she books a cabin in the mountains for her birthday.
Maximillian Clayburn is a recluse who lives above the small town of Friendly, removed from people. He only comes out to retrieve his packages after dark when they are delivered to his mailbox. The county commissioner tells him about the program he intends to implement, which will bring tourism to the village, much to Maximillian's anger. He does not want strangers creeping around his land or any changes made to his town.
When their paths cross, Afton and Maximillian disagree on some points but find common ground on others. But can Afton and Maximillian overcome their differences and explore the instant connection they felt when they first met?
