In the fall of 1939, Grace Baker's three brothers board Canadian ships headed for a faraway war. Grace stays behind, tending to the homefront and the general store. One day, a handsome stranger ventures into the store, claiming to be a trapper come from away. As Grace gets to know him, she becomes enamoured by his gentle smile and thoughtful ways. But after several weeks, she discovers that he is not the lonely outsider he appears to be. He is someone else entirely--someone not to be trusted.
