Ash and Brooke Ellington have been married for six years and lead a fairy tale life of happiness and security in the fast-paced metropolis of Chicago. Ash has inherited his late father's accounting firm, the largest and most successful in the country, and lives life to the fullest until he gets the best news of his life, followed by the worst. Brooke, world-renowned violinist, and star performer in the Chicago Philharmonic, has found out she is expecting their first child, and their world of happiness will soon crumble.
Ash is thrilled at the prospect of being a father, but Brooke is unwilling to allow pregnancy and childrearing to disrupt her coveted musical career. Ash's seemingly perfect life comes to a grinding halt when Brooke informs that she will abort the pregnancy, with or without Ash's approval. Desperate, Ash tries everything to change her mind, ultimately offering to raise the child on his own.
When Brooke refuses to compromise, brokenhearted Ash leaves Chicago for a few hours to ponder life. Three days later, he arrives at the Sassafras Inn, a quaint country Bed & Breakfast in the sleepy waterfront town of Raindrop, New Hampshire.
In Raindrop, the big-city outsider meets an eccentric group of locals who become Ash's unlikely allies: Mamie, the wise and resourceful Sassafras proprietor; LiliBeth, granddaughter and employee of Mamie; Colton, the kind-hearted and often rambunctious waiter at Puddle's Cafe; Holly, Colton's girlfriend who carries a secret of her own; Cindy, LiliBeth's faithful friend and sidekick. Ash will impact some of his new friends in wonderful ways, while others will rue the day they ever met him.
Over the span of several weeks, a tumultuous long-distance relationship between husband and wife emerges. Will Ash's fervent and emotional pleas snatch his unborn child from certain impending demise, or will Brooke sacrifice it all, marriage and family, to preserve the career of her dreams?
