It has been ten years since Camila met her husband on a dating show and five years since he perished in a preventable accident. Her Hike for Healing blog has restored her optimism and built an internet following.

She is offered a lead role in the dating show, as a bachelorette choosing a future spouse from 30 bachelors competing for her attention—or perhaps for internet fame. 

Widower Jarom is a man of faith but shares none of her optimism. He is caught on video calling the show silly, fake, and shallow. A dare from his teenage daughters thrusts him into this strange world when he meets Producers anxious to throw in a touch of irony.

Fellow contestants object when Camila allows Jarom to stay as a friend. Getting any closer to Jarom has risks. Can she trust him, and can either of them trust Producers that value ratings over relationships and profits over people?
