What happens after the last breath?

Evangeline and Nolan have both experienced the unimaginable loss of their spouses, leaving them doused in sorrow and grief.

Nolan is now a single father and cowboy, wrangling his responsibilities on a ranch while caring for his grandfather. He does everything possible to nurture his young child.

Evangeline needs a change, so she throws a dart at a map that leads her from New Orleans to Idaho. There, she takes a position as a mortician makeup artist and settles into a Victorian funeral home. Her new roommate? A sassy elderly woman named Belva, who has seen her fair share of heartache.

Belva, who has also endured the loss of her husband, encourages Evangeline to join her at the local widows' club, a quirky crew of old timers and another younger widower who keep each other on their toes.

Then, Nolan walks in.

The two quickly bond and establish a friendship. Sometimes, love doesn’t endure forever. Sometimes, it surprises you when you least expect it. Sometimes, it blossoms when you take a daring step forward.
