An ex-cop returning to face his horrendous past, the woman who won't forgive him, and the family who'll never let him forget that he killed their son.
First Nations Constable Jordan Chartrand's guilt can't handle the accusing stares from the family left to mourn their son after that horrible night... so he flees from his Ojibway community and the woman he loves. Two years later, his mother's cancer diagnosis forces him to return to help her.
Devoted schoolteacher Ellie Quill wants nothing to do with Jordan after he bolted to the city and left her behind. Her life goals are set. As for her secret, she'll keep that to herself, even if Jordan's begging to know the truth about her child.
When the two are compelled to work on a community project to address the rampant drug problem, their forced proximity slowly melts Ellie's icy walls. But no matter how much her heart desires to give Jordan the second chance he's begging for, she refuses to because providing a life for her son in the tradition of the Ojibway culture is her top priority now, not moving to the city where Jordan continues to hide.
