Cliff Keane gets paroled at age 26, after eight years in the Oregon State Penitentiary. With no money or possibilities, he returns to his little town hoping for forgiveness and a new life. His older sister finds him a rental; his parole officer finds him a job. But the going isn't easy. Everyone knows his past, and three families hang on to their hatred for him. Bit by bit, Cliff makes his way into recovery, into a calling, into real love, where forgiveness waits.
