Twenty years ago, Sarah disappeared near their hometown in Washington's northern Cascade mountains. Edmund House, a convicted rapist, was sentenced for her murder, but Tracy never believed he was guilty. She has spent two decades questioning the evidence and the trial that followed. When Sarah's remains are finally discovered, Tracy sees her chance for real justice. She returns to investigate, determined to uncover the truth she has been seeking.
