Dottie is divorced and depleted and desperately needs a reset when she returns to Blue Holly, the Quinn family's beloved lake town retreat. She expects a warm welcome and a fresh start at Aunt Lo's art gallery. Instead, she finds the mountain town has an identity problem; a local busybody is shutting down everything fun, and Lo is packing to leave.

As a peace offering or maybe a plan, Lo hands Dottie the keys to a condemned Red Arrow hardware store and says, "Fix it up, and it's yours." There are just a few issues: Dottie can't get a loan, is thoroughly over being alone, and has no clue how to use a drill. But inspiration strikes when she stumbles across an old moonshine still, and Dottie decides on a new direction—Blue Holly will have a brewery, and she will build it.

It's going to take more than good spirits to pull this off, what with the small-town politics, personal ghosts, and mysterious forces working against her. But with the help of a crew of determined locals—including the handsome and steady Crawford Woody—Dottie throws herself into reviving the Red Arrow. One way or another, she's about to find out just how much fight—and love—she has in her.
