Carol Peletier has found a refuge in a small town in Mexico, a place where she can hide from her demons among other things, but when Daryl Dixon stumbles into her life, on a mission to find his brother, perhaps it's time to stop running from her past. 

When she sees a private moment between Rick and Michonne, Carol realizes she wants more from Daryl.

Norman Reedus finds out that life can throw you a curve ball sometimes. This one comes in the package of his amazingly talented co-star and friend Melissa McBride.
