While driving on a highway, Will Jay Behlendorf is caught up in a horrible weather situation. This forces him to stay with a mildly southern-styled family until the weather conditions ease. There, he meets a 17 year old girl who instantly catches a disliking towards him. What happens as they're forced to stay together through the storm is nothing anyone would have expected, especially as they begin to find out more about each other: they find ironic serendipity.
