When Grace Evans graduated from college at the height of the recession, she knew she’d have to take any job she could get. She wanted to be a pediatric nurse, but ends up in the farthest thing from it: hospice. She has a lot to learn professionally, but she realizes quickly that working in this field will leave an indelible mark on her that she’ll carry with her for the rest of her life.

Grace develops a close relationship with one particular patient, Vivian Adler, an eccentric millionaire who lives alone, suffering from a cancer she ignored through vanity and shame. Grace tries her best to help her work through her dark past, but time is running out. She employs the help of Vivian’s pseudo-grandson, Matthew, but sparks fly immediately, threatening not only her professionalism but her four-year relationship with her boyfriend, Tyler. 

Will Grace help Vivian find peace before it’s too late? Will Grace’s relationship survive the instant connection she forms with Matthew? Most importantly, perhaps, will Grace have what it takes to make it in such an emotionally demanding field?
