When her father’s family needs help, Eve jumps in, hoping to finally belong somewhere. Sunny Days, her new sister, believes love is the only family Eve needs. To get Sunny off her back, Eve agrees to try MountainMatch.com. When a handsome hunk announces he’s arrived to hook her up, she mistakes his job as the cable guy for an online date. When she overcomes her faulty assumption, the global pandemic reaches the mountains. A quarantine is issued and the National Guard commandeers the Lodge. Eve and Beau are forced to live together for who knows how long. Just as they begin to adjust to their Covid-habitation along with Beau’s ex-wife and his tattooed teenage son, Eve learns his ex wants to rebuild their fractured family. Can Eve and Beau’s connection last beyond the pandemic, or will it remain a temporary hookup?
