"THERE ARE TIMES IN LIFE WHEN A DETOUR COMES FROM OUT OF NO WHERE, UNEXPECTEDLY. WHICH DIRECTION WE CHOOSE CAN HAVE A DEEP IMPACT ON, NOT JUST OUR LIFE BUT OTHERS. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?"
AFTER JAMES' (KEITH COOGAN) WIFE IS TRAGICALLY KILLED BY A HORSE, AS A FATHER HE TAKES A DANGEROUS DETOUR IN HIS LIFE OF SELF-DESTRUCTION, IGNORING THE CRIES OF HELP FROM HIS COMING OF AGE DAUGHTER, ABBEY (KAYTLYN SUMMER).
JAMES AND EMILY KNEW EACH OTHER SINCE THEY WERE IN GRADE SCHOOL. JAMES HAS ALWAYS BEEN A QUIET, RESERVED PERSON SINCE HE WAS A KID. HE ALWAYS KNEW THAT EMILY AND HIM WERE MEANT TO BE WITH EACH OTHER FOREVER. EMILY FELT THE SAME WAY. THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER WAS BIGGER AND STRONGER THAN ANY ONE COULD POSSIBLY EVER BEGIN TO KNOW. EACH DAY TO JAMES IS LIKE THE FIRST TIME, EVER SEEING EMILY. TRUE DEEP LOVE FOR HER IS HIS WHOLE LIFE. THEY MARRIED RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND HAD A DAUGHTER A FEW YEARS LATER. ABBEY IS JAMES LITTLE GIRL. LITTLE GIRL FOREVER IN HIS EYES. HIS LOVE IS VERY DEEP FOR HIS ONLY DAUGHTER AND ONLY CHILD. THE ONE HE AND EMILY CREATED OUT OF LOVE. SHE MEANS THE WORLD TO JAMES AND EMILY. EMILY LOVES HORSES AND SHE RUNS A HORSE BOARDING FACILITY. SHE ALSO RAISES SHOW HORSES AND HAS WON A LOT OF SHOWS. ABBEY IS FOLLOWING IN HER FOOTSTEPS. JAMES, ON THE OTHER HAND, LOVES THE STEEL HORSE. HE IS A BIG TIME CAR AND BIKE GUY. HE LOVES WORKING ON SPORT CARS AND MOTOR BIKES. HE DOESN'T CARE TOO MUCH FOR THE HORSES THAT HAVE FOUR LEGS, BUT LOVES SEEING EMILY AND ABBEY HAPPY WITH THEM.
ONE DAY TRAGEDY STRIKES THIS FAMILY. IT IS SUCH A TRAGEDY THAT IS SO UNEXPECTED FOR EVERYONE. IT HITS JAMES RIGHT DEEP INTO HIS HEART. LOSING EMILY THE WAY HE DID, JUST RIPS HIS WORLD ALL APART. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS THE ONLY WORLD HE HAS EVER KNOWN OF. NOW HE IS LEFT WITH HIS ONLY DAUGHTER TO RAISE BY HIMSELF AND SURROUNDED DAILY BY THE REMINDER OF HIS WIFE'S KILLER "THE HORSE"!
WHAT WILL JAMES DO AFTER HIS DEEP LOSS? WILL HE LOSE ALL CONTROL OF HIS LIFE, IN TURN DESTROYING HIS DAUGHTERS LIFE AS WELL? WHAT WILL ABBEY DO? WITH CHORES, SCHOOL, A DRUNKEN FATHER, LOSS OF HER MOTHER WHAT DETOUR WILL SHE TAKE? WILL JAMES BE ABLE TO FIGHT HIS INNER DEMONS AND GAIN CONTROL ONCE AGAIN, IF NOT FOR HIMSELF, HOW ABOUT FOR ABBEY?
ABBEY WITH HAVING TROUBLE IN SCHOOL, HER TEACHER DECIDES TO GET INVOLVED. HOW WILL ABBEY AND JAMES TAKE TO HER COMING AROUND? WILL SHE MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR ABBEY? HOW ABOUT JAMES? WHAT DOES SHE THINK OF JAMES AND HIS PARENTING? DOES SHE GO TO FAR? OR....YOU MUST WATCH TO SEE WHAT ALL UNFOLDS.
THIS FILM WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE LIFE OF A WONDERFUL, HAPPY FAMILY AND WHAT HAPPENED WHEN AN UNEXPECTED DETOUR CAME THEIR WAY.

WE HAVE A GREAT CAST THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE CAST PAGE, PLUS WE HAVE SOME SURPRISE GUEST STARS THAT WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER. OUR CAST ARE FRESH NEW FACES, BUT VERY TALENTED. LIKE KAYTLYN, SHE HAS DONE SOME MAJOR ROLES IN COMMERCIALS AND TV SHOWS LIKE ER AND HOUSE.
