In an effort to preserve her heritage, when Rochelle LeClaire decides to turn an historic family home into a bed and breakfast, she uncovers some old family secrets and a little more about her family members than anticipated. She reunites with Birch Trueblood, an Ojibwe medicine man with whom she has a long-held fascination. Digging through family archives, and convinced that spirits of the past are revealing themselves to him, Birch and his daughter uncover truths about his and Rochelle's family lineage. As the relationship between Rochelle and Birch blossoms, a Minnesota snow storm traps them at Rochelle's ancestral home. When the electricity goes out, the fires are stoked in more ways than one.
