Jack was the computer geek in high school, and hes turned that knowledge into a lucrative businessone that allows him to continue to run the convenience store in town, which he loves. Hes content, selling picnic supplies and bait to the fishermen and campers. But theres a hole in his heart, and the only person who can fill it is Dee Hooper. Then one hot summer day she appears, and hes determined not to let her hurt him or get away again.
