She's unemployed and back in her childhood home, but this time she's taking care of her mom.

Susan Brown's life was on track until this summer. She's lost her job and now she's back home taking care of her mom. The only bright spot? She's finally going to see Eliza Fitzsimmons live. When her best friend backs out at the last minute, Susan can't bear skipping the show, so she takes a chance on the Concert Buddy app.

Dating was not part of his plan, but neither was being a single dad.

Donnie Larson hasn't made time for himself in years. He dedicates his heart and soul to his son Sebastian and his bakery/bookstore. But when his favorite musician is on tour for the first time in over a decade, his decision to go to the concert changes everything.

Can Donnie help create new high school memories for Susan and win her heart?

Susan spends her days and nights caring for her mother and she has no fond memories of her hometown.

Susan finds herself happier than she's been in decades until Donnie's enthusiasm to make plans for Susan gets the best of him. Will Susan and Donnie let their past mistakes stop them from the life they could have together?
