Music producer Chex Hastings is steadfast in his commitment to a code of detachment: no promises, shallow relationships, and a firm decision to forgo parenthood because of what he experienced in his childhood with his father. But when an unexpected encounter reunites him with Garnet Silver, the one woman he made an exception for in the past, his carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

Garnet reenters Chex's life with a surprise - a son. Suddenly faced with the prospect of fatherhood, Chex grapples with conflicting emotions. Can he stick to his vow of non-commitment in the face of newfound responsibility? Or will the bonds of love and family challenge his resolve?
