In 2001 Jessie Wheeler has experienced the wrong side of love when Kelly, her long-term girlfriend, didn't think twice about cheating on her with one of her own co-workers. She's been living in Vancouver for the past few years but her Grandpa, or Pop-pops, as she has always called him, has been killed in a car accident-one that was caused by a drunk driver, Gus Jackson. Jessie has inherited his ranch, his dog Blue and everything else that goes with it. Now she has the chance to make drastic changes in her life. A moody type of character, she doesn't let people into her life so easily, but when Heather King turns up, Jessie's heart begins to soften. Although, she doesn't make it easy for either of them to move forward.
