Spunky young Californian (Jenna) finds a cache of letters written to her mother by a mysterious man. In her search for answers she finds Dallas, an ex-roustabout and odd-jobber working in the forgotten back-country of Oregon.

 

Dallas agrees to help Jenna, but the quest quickly turns dangerous when others with an interest in the mysterious letters learn what Jenna is up and advise her to leave the past alone. She doesn't listen, and things really heat up.
