She's a high-flying city lawyer. He's from the backwoods. Their fated meeting changes everything...

The gripping new crime thriller from the Bafta-winning screenwriter of BBC1's Keeping Faith and bestselling author of the Jenny Cooper Coroner novels.


The day Jessie Cunningham achieves her life's goal and is made partner in an ultra-powerful Toronto law firm, she suffers a catastrophic burnout. While attempting to recuperate, she volunteers for a charity preserving ancient trees in the wilderness of British Columbia. There she meets Todd Samson, a man with a troubled past and a wounded soul.

The attraction is instant, but they're from different worlds... that are about to collide.

When Todd is falsely accused of murdering a local conservation officer and his beleaguered community in the Three Valleys Reserve comes under pressure from the government to swap its ancestral territory for land on the outskirts of Vancouver, Jessie is drawn into their struggle against greed, corruption and injustice.

Forming an unlikely alliance with Chief Ray Squinas and wood carver and shaman Eldon Marshall, Jessie joins them in the fight of their lives - against just the kind of dark forces she has spent her career serving.
