A father dies and a daughter mourns, leaving her alone with a mother who's taken a vow. Choosing to leave, instead of following unknown footsteps; she takes off for South Dakota. A long way from her Washington past, memories follow; leading her into a world of chaos and fear. Coming across a mysterious letter, a familiar dress and the lingering scent of a woman, Helen is stranded in a one bedroom shack in one of the worst snow storm's Dakota has seen. She's unaware that she's on the clock, and it's ticking.
