The Psychiatrist-Corinne Baker is not even 30, but she is completely burnt out. Living in New York City and working as a nurse in the ER of a famous city hospital, she has seen enough of drug overdoses, gunshot wounds and child abuse victims to last her a lifetime. And what she perceived as a serious relationship is now crumbling as her boyfriend expressed his hesitation over making a steadfast commitment. This provides Cory with the last bit of motivation she needs to make major changes in her life. She quits her job, packs up her things and moves back to her parent's gracious colonial that sits in the scenic horse country of nothern New Jersey. There, she finally takes time for herself to contemplate her past and what direction she'd like her future to take. Rejuvenated, she finds a promising new job, a fantastic apartment, great friendships and an unexpected relationship which reveals to her what true love feels like. But not everything is perfect as she encounters unethical practices on the psychiatric unit where she works that she just can't accept. Refusing to stand by quietly, will she lose everything because of it?
