After a wave of domestic terrorism has decimated the population, a small group bands together in northern Montana for survival. Amidst the mountains and the cold rivers, the tall spruce and native grasses, the new citizens of Knife Falls turn to one another for comfort. Marie, who would have once considered herself the least prepared for the apocalypse, finds herself torn between two men as different as night and day. Will she choose the man who needs her the most or betray him with the one that turns her whole new world upside down?
