Gloria Campbell, a college professor at Simon Frazier in Vancouver B.C., uncharacteristicly wins a campus contest. The city bound professor has won two months in a cabin on an island in the Straight of Georgia, on Canada's west coast. She decides to accept her prize and get away for the summer, into nature. Something she's never done before. It's a personal challenge to herself to live a little and leave her comfort zone. On her first day, she meets Tom Boggs after an embarrassing first day event. Her loveless life becomes entwined with her new neighbor and her life takes a new turn. A turn that may very well change her life.
