Lloyd Naugle is a third generation boat builder. The sign above his workshop door says Naugle and Sons, but his son, David, is a land developer in Toronto, who comes home with a grand plan, not to build boats with his father, but, to change the face of the village. He only has to persuade three people to sell him their land and then his development can proceed.
Lloyd's apprentice, Maria Kelly, is one of them. She owns her family's old homestead and keeps a dozen sheep and five rescue dogs. As David attempts to charm, then strong arm, and then reason with her into parting with her cherished land, she works to teach him the value of the lifestyle that he rejected two decades earlier.
Mounting complications delay the ground breaking on David's real estate development, and when violence and intimidation take over from rational negotiation the question on everyone's mind is "Do I trust David Naugle?"
Is David a local boy turned bad by the big city? Or is he innocent, as he claims? Will his family throw him off as he once did them? Or will they rally to support him? Will Maria put aside her suspicions and allow the hope he engendered to flourish? Or will she reject her growing feelings?
