Six months after the death of her mother, twenty-one-year-old Maggie Taylor is just trying to get through each day when she is offered a coveted spot at a prestigous dance school in New York City. Knowing her father will not approve of her plans, she packs her car and sets out on a journey that will leave her forever changed.

Twenty-one-year-old Sam Austin is tired of being stuck in a small town. Forced to deal with his father's alcoholism since his mother left eleven years ago. Sam has only ever found solace in his music and frequent one-night-stands. When Sam is presented with the opportunity to move to Chicago, he leaps at the chance, leaving town with only his guitar and backpack.

After Sam and Maggie arrive in a small Midwestern town they are forced to share the only room available. What starts as a simple inconvenience soon turns into a weekend of passion. A passion that will burn until they are reunited years later by a terrible tragedy.
