The rest of the field ran for a spot on the team, Kyle ran to prove his life held value, meaning, and purpose. She was an American beauty fighting to find her place in the world. Sober and on her own for the first time, Candy was trying to distance herself from years of regret, depression, and mistrust. Their lives came together in Berkeley Springs, WV. A town set on the doorstep of the Blue Ridge Mountains and known for its healing waters. Life and the mountains had another idea.
