Unable to speak, gravely disfigured, and days away from death, the hospital's lead physician and his family scramble to keep her alive. When she finally wakes from a weeks' long stupor, Sarah is surprised by the affection she finds for the family she barely knows. Especially Jake, the physician's son.

Circle Drive is an unexpected love story in an unconventional setting that is sure to strike a chord with anyone whose life hasn't always gone according to plan.
