Reclusive widow Jenny Hamilton retreats to her modern cabin in the Eastern Sierras, content to be cut off from the outside world, the victim of an abusive marriage that leaves her terrified of men. She spends her time writing, weaving and tending her animals until Tom Driscoll washes up in the creek below. Somehow Jenny finds the strength and courage to rescue the unconscious man and nurse him back to health while slowly falling in love with him. Then a burly intruder intent on revenge for crimes her late husband committed arrives and attempts to rape Jenny. Tom prevents the rape and saves her from harm, but the terrifying incident traumatizes her and all her earlier fears of men come flooding back. Convinced she can never trust another man, she orders Tom to leave, effectively shutting him out of her life. Can Tom soften Jenny's hardened heart and teach her to feel again?
