Zoey Sanders is completing her internship as a paramedic with the Mountaintop Search and Rescue in the Beartooth Mountain range of Montana, when a new dog handler arrives to join the team. The handler, Micah Byrne, is deaf and he and Zoey form an immediate connection, even though she only knows the sign language alphabet and a few words. They are drawn to each other through friendship, their love of dogs, Search and Rescue, and something deeper. An avalanche ties the team together through an unexpected tragedy, but a sudden loss drives Zoey away and almost out of her mind, making her turn on everything she once loved. Including Micah. She is consumed by rage and loneliness, lashing out because no one is held accountable for her loss. Her family has to reassess everything they'd once taken for granted and discover a strength in themselves they'd never known. Zoey and Micah must bare their souls and tell their truths in order to find their way back to one another.
