Kathleen Pope is a St. Paul, Minnesota, firefighter who is just beginning to recover from having her heart ripped out by her ex-girlfriend. Belladonna Ward is a newly graduated Master of Accounting and Finance from Houston who has fled her mother's constant nagging about her life being easier if she would just hurry up and get through her "gay phase". The first ice storm of the year teaches Bella she has a lot to learn about walking across slick parking lots with sacks of groceries, but luck gives her a break when it's Kathleen that's standing in front of her when it happens. Kathleen drives her to an emergency room where each starts having feelings for the other in the worst way. More than just sparks, an entire electrical storm is brewing!
