On a cold January evening in 1990, Margot's idyllic life with Geoff, the lead singer of a successful hard rock band from England, changes irrevocably. In the struggle to recapture what they had and find their footing again, Margot and Geoff find themselves caught in a devastating course of events that leads to her return home to the States. Then, nine years later, Geoff reenters Margot's life when Red Line hires her small, but flourishing, public relations firm in Portland, Oregon. But instead of the innocuous reunion she thinks it will be, Margot finds herself finally confronting what happened on that winter night, and what really caused her relationship with Geoff to end.
