Set against the rugged Arizona wilderness, the story follows Carley Burch, a young New Yorker drawn West by a letter from her fiancé, Glenn Kilbourne, changed by war. As she journeys through harsh landscapes, she confronts love, transformation, and the contrast between city life and untamed nature. The opening follows Carley on the train to Flagstaff, anxious and reflective, preparing to face Glenn and the challenges of their renewed relationship.
