Sam and Hadley West are both trying in their own ways to survive after the unthinkable loss of their only son in Alaska. Sam goes to the arctic wilderness to find the place where Paul died. Hadley rents a cottage off the Maine coast where she begins to paint again. At opposite ends of the country, waiting for their divorce to be finalized, they begin to exchange letters, missives filled with longing and truths they've never before voiced, as they recall their marriage and begin to rediscover the reasons they fell in love in the first place.
