In a small town in Maine, recently widowed Eveleth "Evvie" Drake rarely leaves her house. In New York, Dean Tenney, former major-league pitcher and Evvie's best friend Andy's childhood friend, is struggling with a case of the "yips": he can't throw straight anymore, and he can't figure out why. An invitation from Andy to stay in Maine for a few months seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button. When Dean moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie's house, the two make a deal: Dean won't ask about Evvie's late husband, and Evvie won't ask about Dean's baseball career. What starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more.
