Beth Stephens, paramedic and director of Emergency Medical Services for the small rural hospital, meets KJ on a hike in the Rockies. They go their own ways, but somehow keep running into each other. Hannah, Beth’s ex who moved out of state a year ago, surprises her with a new girlfriend, dispelling Beth’s idea that they could continue a long-distance romance.
During a financial crisis at the medical center, Beth and KJ become closer and acknowledge their mutual attraction.

Beth, nursing her broken heart, is wary of trusting another woman who may not be able to share all of herself.
Set against the lush backdrop of rural Colorado, KJ and Beth ride the rough trails of their histories seeking a lasting bond, hoping to heal their wounded hearts.
