TitleLeadingThe

SynopsisWhen David approaches his New Hampshire cabin one cool October night to find it engulfed in flames, he knows his girlfriend Hope set the fire. At least, he's pretty sure he knows. David first decides to upend the creature comforts of his post-collegiate life and try roughing it for a year after he inherits two acres of land and a rustic cabin from his deceased grandfather. Life at the cabin proves to be more difficult than expected, however, and it all starts with the woman he loves--Hope--whose dark past is written in the twisting pink scars covering her body. Their relationship is challenged after his car slides through an intersection one dark night and, later, his realization that someone is out there, watching him through the trees. Over the course of five seasons, David struggles to maintain his relationship with Hope. Ultimately, in an attempt to understand the sacrifices she has had to make, he decides to rewrite their story. In doing so, he explores the lessons he's left with--after everything he thought mattered is gutted or burned away--and the surprising bits of wisdom he finds in the ashes., When David's determined search for meaning and independence drives him to decide to live in an isolated New Hampshire cabin inherited from his recently deceased grandfather, his girlfriend's dark past and his family's long-buried secrets prove to be the greatest tests of his resilience.
