The plot of The Lost Husband revolves around the life and struggles of Leslie Bibb’s character of Libby. Libby loses her husband to an accident and also loses her home soon after. She then moves in with her mother for six months before getting an ultimatum from her mother, who is overtly critical of everyone. Libby has two children and she decides to move to Texas in order to get a fresh start.

Libby, along with her children, Abby and Tank, moves to her Aunt Jean’s farm, who asks James to help Libby learn how to handle the farm. The two start to bond over farming and one day accidentally get themselves locked in the refrigerator, where they have to stay overnight. Later, in the day, James kisses Libby in front of her friends who have been letting her down and mocking her for how her life has turned out after her husband passed away.

On the other hand, Libby’s children are also getting close to James and share with him things that they cannot tell their mother, due to the fact that she has been very stressed ever since their father passed away. Libby notices this and is happy about the fact that her children are stable in their lives at the farm. She then meets Sunshine, Aunt Jean’s boyfriend’s granddaughter, who asks Libby to join her and communicate with the dead.
