How much distance does it take to get close to someone?
After police detective Jack Christoff is gunned down on his way to testify in a sex trafficking trial, his widow, Isabel, retreats to the small Southern Point farm she and Jack had planned as their forever home. Shunning her two loving brothers, friends, and legal colleagues, Isabel struggles to complete the home's renovation alone, her only companions a rescued dog, her gruff neighbor, and reckless flyovers from a crop-dusting plane. An encounter with stranded motorist Neil Hammish offers Isabel an unexpected reprieve from her loneliness, and the chance to use her legal expertise to help with a local environmental crisis. Their friendly project meetups soon turn to fiery erotic sessions, yet grief and fear keep Isabel from any exchange of true intimacy or trust. Her relationship with Neil self-destructs, leaving her on her remote farm with nothing but fear and loss. As Jack's murder investigation nears an end, unanswered questions-some that may pose a real threat to Isabel-remain. If Isabel's worst-case scenario becomes a terrifying reality, can anyone get close enough to her in time to come to her rescue?
