Hazel Morgan is a movie star, desperately unhappy with the glittering cesspool of Hollywood. Overwhelmed by the sex, drugs, and betrayal, she leaves the fancy life behind before it devours her whole. She returns to her Connecticut hometown. There, she lives quietly in her late mother's house but still finds no joy.

Hazel is unhappy and even contemplates suicide until the arrival of Lloyd: a poor, white ragammufin of a boy. Hungry and neglected, he shows up at her back door in need of refuge from his dysfunctional life. First, Lloyd finds his way into her home. Next, despite their differences, he finds his way into her heart.

Hazel begins to realize that her new path is much more important than her past. This burned out and jaded superstar learns, with the help of a young boy, that God is indeed a God of second chances, and He loves her no matter what.
