Why these tropes fit
Marine and bar owner John "Preacher" Middleton encounters Paige Lassiter, a bruised single mother with her three-year-old son who has fled to Virgin River to escape her past. Preacher, a gentle giant carrying his own share of pain, finds himself stirred by unfamiliar emotions and commits to protecting Paige and her child from whoever marked her with bruises. The refuge he offers is tested when Paige's ex-husband tracks her down in the small town, forcing a confrontation that Preacher is determined to see through, citing his marine training and Semper Fi as his guide.
