Summary:
You have your own home and a career. But still, you feel unfulfilled: you would have expected to have found your life partner and had a couple of children by now. That's when you decide to become a foster parent.
Your life quickly becomes a whirlwind: two grieving little girls are placed in your care and you're scrambling to get them comfortable, earn their trust and prove to yourself and to them that you can be a wonderful foster parent. Their next-of-kin, a handsome man in his late 40s named Vander, has every intention to adopt the girls. Your caseworker tells you that an alarming charge on Vander's criminal record from 6 years prior may prevent this.
As you take your new role in stride and build a stronger relationship with Vi and Powder, your feelings for Vander grow and you realize that being a foster parent is more complicated than you may have thought. The caseworker hints that a romantic relationship between a foster resource and next-of-kin could be harmful to the girls. You realize you may be faced with a very difficult choice: continue to be a responsible foster resource for Vi and Powder or give in to your feelings for Vander?
