"Под опекой. Двое незнакомцев и младенец... Одно напряженное путешествие по дороге."
Пожарник Макс Колдуэлл обещал позаботиться о новорожденном сыне своей сестры, но он не знал ничего о младенцах. Ему пришлось быстро научиться, особенно когда за ними начали гнаться беспощадные наркоторговцы, желающие захватить "наследника".
После свидетельства аварии, сотрудница детского сада Лора Далтон была настороженна по отношению к водителю, который носил младенца и утверждал, что "Элмер" - его сын. Женщина с миссией, она прыгнула в его машину на весьма интересную поездку. Ее благородные усилия были направлены на защиту ребенка, но она не рассчитывала на смертельное влечение к Максу. Могла ли эта своеобразная семья стать тем, чего она всегда хотела?
