The Mountains Are Calling
Set in a small town nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, recovering heroin addict Mason Summers has just moved back in with his parents after yet another stay in rehab. The day after he arrives, he comes home to his darkest secret sitting on the couch - 18 year old Abigail Summers. The daughter Mason never told anyone about, who he gave up in secret weeks after her birth, a memory that has haunted him since. With nowhere else to go, Abigail is invited to stay at the Summers household until she sets out for college in the fall. Can Mason learn to be the father that Abigail has never had, or will the demons he's fought his entire life ruin this last chance?
