It was not until their first date that Bridger Martin learned that Dana Halter’s deafness was profound and permanent. By then he was falling in love. Now she is in a courtroom accused of assault with a deadly weapon, auto theft, and passing bad checks, among other things.

And as they set out to find him, they begin to test to its very limits the life they have begun to build together.
