Devastated by the sudden end of her engagement, teacher Annie Armstrong craves only peace and seclusion to heal when she returns to Thorndale. Following a fraught encounter with fell rescue volunteer Jon as the result of a misunderstanding, she tries to disregard his evident compassion and warmth when they join together to search for a missing person.
