While Agnes is in Europe to visit family, Trent is given a somewhat unusual mission: to escort a woman to her father's home. Mrs. Taylor has left her husband-a man that alcohol turns horribly violent-and is now taking their son to safety at his grandfather's, a former senator. Tasked with protecting them, Trent takes a liking to young Jeremy, and begins to dream of his own Little Trent with Agnes-until the father tracks them down.
