Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesnt correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andys childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the yips: he cant throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he cant figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Deans future. When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evvies house, the two make a deal: Dean wont ask about Evvies late husband, and Evvie wont ask about Deans baseball career.
