Hjemme er kanskje der hvor hjertet ditt er, men noen ganger må det både kjærlighet, tilgivelse og vilje til for å reparere et knust hjerte. Mae har tilsynelatende alt på stell. Hun har en flott kjæreste som elsker henne, en fremgangsrik jobb i firmaet hans og en stilig leilighet i New York. Men alt rakner den morgenen hun våkner og oppdager at det hele var bygd på løgner og at kjæresten er en svindler. Det er bare ett sted Mae kan dra: hjem til Alexandria Bay, den lille byen der hun vokste opp sammen med besteforeldrene. Men ingenting er som det pleier å være der heller. Mae oppdager at bestemoren er begynt å bli dement, og bestefaren har flyttet ut som følge av en stor hemmelighet bestemoren aldri hadde ment å avsløre. Hun treffer også ungdomskjæresten Gabe, som sliter med et gammelt traume som fortsatt hjemsøker ham.
