Tia and Paul are happy. Now in New York, they're raising Tia's kids and looking forward to getting married and having a baby together.
But then Tia's beloved aunt calls. She's in trouble. And Tia decides to make the long trip to Shell, Mississippi, so she can help her. The kids will be fine with Paul and Tia's mother. Nothing can go wrong.
Well, one thing can-Tia's lead foot. No sooner has she made it to Shell than she's pulled over for speeding. And the police officer couldn't be more of a surprise.
It's Ric Cox, Tia's first love from childhood. Ric recognizes her too, and the two of them strike up a friendship, reminiscing about old times and visiting the people Tia left behind. And after a while, despite their romance being a distant memory, they find their feelings for each other growing beyond the platonic.
But Paul's still in the picture, and despite his anger at Tia's tendency to push him away, he still loves her. With children, an aunt, and an unborn baby to consider, Tia has to figure out which man she wants to stay in her life.
