A recently divorced young lady moves to her grandparents' cabin deep in the Smokey Mountains. While trying to comprehend and work through wrong choices, she is asked to help an old friend take some kids through paddling lessons. She confronts the multifaceted changes in her obsolete marital situation, old-fashioned beliefs, job, family and spirituality. She learns to appreciate the influence of her mother, friends, and a pastor who thinks the Bible as a road map. She confronts various beliefs, a joust on boats, and a river rescue while paddling her kayak during a storm; and she finally learns to interpret a new romantic relationship.
