She wouldn't be able to do it without her grandmother's help and finally after 7 years of struggling she finally has her life back on track. She's back to fulfilling her dreams and there's nothing she want's more than to show her baby boy that even when life sets you back, you don't give up. But Willow finds herself in a setback when her childhood friend, who lives in the same city she moved to, comes stumbling back onto her life. She wasn't expecting to see him ever again and his presence brings a whole set of memories and secrets that she wanted to keep buried.
