Paroled after seventeen years of imprisonment in Texas for a crime she did not commit, social outcast Elias travels on an impulse, illegally, to the Copper River Valley in Alaska. Elias arrives in the small town of McCarthy, the gateway to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, with no ID, no friends, and no prospects, with the goal of escaping the ruins of her former life and finally seeing the mountain she shared a name with. She finds work as a line cook at a hotel and forms relationships without revealing her past, eager to prove to the world and herself that she can be a truly independent adult. She finds herself falling in love for the first time and struggling with the complexities of emotions associated with such a monumental event. At the same time, a local law officer is bent on investigating and exposing her true identity. As Elias wrestles with her new life’s demands, can she grow beyond her past and allow herself to love again?
