Doctor Jordan Burke knows she has to divorce her drug-addicted, abusive husband.
He's brought into her ER with an overdose and she's horrified and humiliated.
She needs a fresh start in a place where she can recover from the trauma of her marriage and from her emotional and physical exhaustion.
But moving to Ahousaht, an isolated First Nations village on Vancouver Island's rugged west coast, brings medical challenges, new friends, and also new problems.
Silas Keefer is the community's traditional healer, with whom Jordan can work comfortably despite the way each of them practices medicine.
But she and Silas each have secrets and insecurities that go far deeper than medical issues. They also have intense feelings for one another.
What will it take to truly heal those differences?
And can Jordan adapt to a very different way of life?
