Chuck Hansen is ready to pay it forward. Only three years earlier, fresh out of prison and stuck in a downward spiral, his long-lost sisters Rose Ellen, Marge, and Mutzi appeared, giving him hope and a new life. Chuck is determined to repay their kindness and prove to the town of Dahlonega who he really is. His sisters rally to support him when he proposes creating a peaceful sanctuary called Skipping Stone Lodge.
But one impulsive decision to help a troubled young man puts Chuck right back where he started-behind bars. In a flash, everything he's worked for is on the line. Chuck must decide whether to reveal the boy's name or remain in jail. He doesn't want the kid to experience the hardships he has endured at the hands of authorities. He risks the successful opening of the lodge to protect the kid.
His sisters help to get him released from jail just in time for the first guests to arrive. Each of them has been dealing with issues they need to release. At the river's edge the night before Thanksgiving, they vow to let go of problems and embrace a positive future.
