For twenty years, James and Elsie have built a life-and a perfect façade. But when their twins leave for college, the quiet in their home only magnifies the cracks in their marriage. After two years of simmering resentment and distance, James decides to rekindle their old dream: owning a cozy seaside bed-and-breakfast. Without telling Elsie, he pours their retirement savings into a long-forgotten property called Hillside House on the Mississippi coast.
What James sees as a grand romantic gesture, Elsie sees as a reckless betrayal. Still, out of equal parts curiosity and obligation, she agrees to see the place for herself. But Hillside House is far from the idyllic getaway they once imagined-peeling wallpaper, creaking floors, and a neighbor who insists the land is hers turn their second chance into a test of endurance.
As the couple faces collapsing beams, faded memories, and one another's buried hurts, they must decide whether love-like an old house-can be repaired, or if some foundations are too far gone to save.
A poignant story of broken dreams, second chances, and the fragile work of rebuilding-not just a house, but a life together.
