Zoe loves having her house to herself, shared only with her cat, Chloe.Much to her dismay, the universe has other plans.

Zoe has always been her father's daughter. Her dad is one of her best friends, but when Zoe does her monthly audit of his construction business, she finds out her dad is in big trouble and his safety is jeopardized.

Chris works for her dad, they need to stay professional, yet she can't deny the sudden butterflies in her stomach. Zoe focuses on work. Her office generally gives her solitude, Pastor Mark appreciates her, and the church offers quiet time for reflection and prayer. Yes, work is much more peaceful than her home life.

Just then, a natural disaster hits the town. Alexis is injured and comes to stay with Zoe while she recovers. Alexis says sparks are flying between Zoe and Jack. Zoe finds this ridiculous; she says he's not so bad, not she wants him. However, she does find herself comparing Jack's handy man skills to Tommy's lack thereof. The ugly stick didn't exactly hit Jack either. Zoe notices how nice it is to have Alexis around and how happy she is with James. Is this Zoe's sign? Maybe she doesn't want the solitary life after all? Suddenly Zoe doesn't recognize herself anymore, and she begins to question her entire belief system. God must be punishing her. She wanted a quiet, stress-free life to herself but has been given anything but. Can Zoe save her family? Can she find out what's happening in the church system?
