After Aunt Karin's little boy, Brody, tragically passes away in an accident, Rylee has a hard time overcoming his loss. Raised by her hardworking single mother, Rylee struggles to navigate Brody's loss and questions her own outlook toward life. But Rylee's beloved grandma, after whom she is named, makes a presence felt in her time of need and convinces her to look at the brighter side of life. She teaches Rylee three valuable life lessons, instilling in her a sense of purpose and making her feel peaceful and positive.
