In Summer County, South Carolina, Satarah Whitfield, head
Emergency Room nurse, battles to save the lives of
countless accident victims of a record-breaking blizzard.
She did not have time to think about her husband's and
sister's betrayal when they absconded with every dime she
had and the only family car leaving their twin boys behind
for her to raise. For one patient, a young boy whose name
she did not even know, she risks her career to save his
life by performing an unauthorized surgery that, if it goes
wrong, could land her in prison. She only hopes that, if
her own missing son needed extreme measures taken to save
his life, someone would step up to save him.
In Richmond, Virginia, firefighter, Deputy Battalion Chief,
Douglas Johnson, is battling to save his career after
giving testimony in court against his fire department for
malfeasants. That would be enough pressure to contend with,
but his young, defiant adopted son is driving him to
distraction with his preteen angst. If Doug's wife hadn't
committed suicide, perhaps he would not feel like throwing
in the towel.
When the chips were down, neither Satarah nor Douglas have
been quitters. So when Douglas learns that his boy was in a
near fatal school bus accident on his way to Walt Disney
World, a trip that Douglas knew nothing about, his fear for
his son's life chases him to a South Carolina community he
has never heard of and to a woman the likes of which he had
never met. When these two bruised, but no broken people
come together, they battle together to save their future.
