The flick is a story is about a mysterious young woman who suddenly arrives in a small North Carolina town.

At first she is reluctant to join the tight knit community and refuses to share information about her past but slowly she begins putting down roots, and gains the courage to start a relationship with Alex, a widowed store owner with two young children.

However her dark secrets intrude on her new life with such terror that she is forced to rediscover the meaning of sacrifice and rely on the power of love in this romantic thriller.

Intense right?
