Will lives alone on beautiful Lake Michigan. At thirty, he has tried online sites for meeting women. In a last attempt to find a business partner and friend, he places an advertisement in a local, small town paper. Sophie answers, also deaf. Traveling to see his home and plans for a Bed and Breakfast on Lake Michigan, she stays. Having forgotten much of his sign language from years living alone, comedy in communication and times shared of hope, joy, love and passion, end in the completion of the B&B, with the reward of a new life. Caring for another person after an accident when their limited signing ability leaves them without speech for a time, can add challenge to love. Giving to someone after thirty years of waiting for the right person, becomes not only enjoyable, but overwhelming. Listening and caring, those characteristics so rare in life, become the central theme. Beautiful falls and bitter winters make the reward of the person each has sought for worth the wait and work.
