Set against the backdrop of a remote and unforgiving landscape, the novel follows the intertwined lives of several characters whose paths converge in a fateful and unforgettable way.

The novel begins with the arrival of a young woman named Claire at a remote mountain cabin.

However, their relationship is tested by the harsh realities of their environment and the secrets that they both carry. Claire is haunted by memories of her abusive childhood, while August is tormented by the guilt of a tragic accident that claimed the life of his best friend.

As the winter snows descend, Claire and August are forced to confront their pasts and make choices that will shape their futures. With the help of a colorful cast of supporting characters, including a wise old woman named Granny and a mischievous young boy named Billy, they learn to forgive themselves and others, and to find hope in the most unlikely of places.
