Letty and Javier are in a race against time to tie up all the loose ends of the violent crime Javier committed. Letty's parole officer lays down the law: if Letty doesn't show up to her next check-in, he will send her back to prison.

Letty attempts legitimate "good behavior" when she goes back to her hometown to be close to her son. Meanwhile, while trying to protect her friend from the truth about her husband, Letty's attempt at being good explodes in her face.

Desperate to escape the mess she made, Letty rejoins Javier on the road. He's going to see his sister about the phone calls he's been getting from his family. Christian tracks Letty down, but Letty pulls him into a scheme of her own making.

Letty returns to her hometown armed with a new plan to take custody of her son, Jacob, with Javier's help. But Letty is confronted with the stark realities of motherhood when a day with her son turns into a crisis that could send her back to prison.

Letty and Javier attend the mysterious and explosive reunion of Javier's immediate family. Letty does her best to play the role of Javier's girlfriend while trying to find out as much as she can about Javier's past. But a tragic history unfolds right before her eyes as a newly protective Letty learns Javier's most closely-guarded secret.

Letty reverses roles with her mother when she has to bail Estelle out of jail, raising the question of who is better able to raise Jacob. Meanwhile, Jacob's birth father, Sean, shows up uninvited to a major family event.

Sean's attempt at getting custody of Jacob causes Letty to falter in a weak moment that could drive a permanent wedge between her and Javier. Christian presents Letty with a legitimate opportunity to change her life.

Letty makes a devastating choice and once again has to clean up her own mess. But this time it's to save Javier.
