Kelly Monroe is an idealistic good girl thrown into a bad situation. A graduate student chasing her dreams of a PhD, a college party invitation lands in her a jail cell with only vague memories of the night before; the images of a tragic bonfire haunting her. Under the watch of an attractive, blue-eyed detective, Kelly's life goes from bad to worse as she's sentenced to perform community service at a horse rescue. Driven to stick out the hard times, she develops a bond with Keegan, an abandoned racehorse horse with a past. Ex-NARC turned arson detective, Aidan Wright is tracking the drug dealers who killed his partner. Kelly's memories of the bonfire prove to be the missing piece to Aidan's investigation of several drug-related teen deaths, perpetrated by the band of drug dealers who scarred him years ago. When Kelly becomes the unsuspecting victim of the drug group's trafficking, Aidan is forced to stay close to her to catch them. As Aidan uncovers the truth, Kelly develops feelings for the fearless man behind the badge, and the battered arson detective falls hard for the spirited girl with the contagious laugh.
