After twenty years with Nathan, pro baseball player Bobby Lane doesn't know how to be single. His husband's death hits him hard. Bobby thinks his life is over-so the cryptic postcards from his dead husband come as something of a surprise.
The postcards lead Bobby on a quest into the heart of Texas and to the doorstep of Odis Vorleik, a sculptor who hasn't stepped foot inside his studio in nearly a year. But as Odis and Bobby grow closer, it becomes clear that Bobby didn't know Nathan as well as he thought-and that Nathan foresaw some of Bobby's future.
After a trip back home to sort out legal business, Bobby returns to Texas only to be confronted by Tuck Krickson, a local sheriff. Apparently Bobby isn't the only one carrying a torch for Odis, and Odis isn't the only one who makes Bobby feel alive again. This can't be what Nathan intended....
