Addie Thornton arrives by train in snowy Ouray, Colorado in 1896. She's here to support her Aunt Sarah, who lost her husband. Her stay in Ouray gets off to an uncertain start. Through a window, Addie sees a stranger watching their house.
There's one person Aunt Sarah warns Addie to stay away from. Daniel Montgomery. Sarah is adamant he murdered her husband. Addie respects her aunt's wishes, but Daniel is not the man her aunt believes him to be.
While cutting trees in the mountains, Daniel witnesses a murder. He goes for help, but in so doing makes himself the prime suspect. He's always tried his best to be a man of integrity. Now his character is being defined by a grief-stricken widow. To make matters worse, he is attracted to her niece, Addie. It's an impossible situation.
The town of Ouray organizes a Christmas gift exchange to help lift the spirits of the residents. This small mining town holds many secrets and no one would've guessed how the giving of presents could change so many lives.
Will Addie be able to find who is stalking her while searching for the truth of what happened to her uncle? Can Daniel prove his innocence? It may mean he must let go of everything he holds close. Christmas is fast approaching and the presence of the season is working in all their lives. Will it be too late for Daniel and Addie?
