Even if Connie runs to the end of the earth, she cannot escape her pain.

Impulsively, and despite being newly qualified, Connie accepts a nursing post in the Arctic. She naively thinks that distance will lessen the pain and humiliation of her failed romance with a manipulative senior nurse, Helen. Ever the romantic, Connie imagines herself as an intrepid adventurer venturing into a white, winter wonderland. Nothing could be further from the truth in 1970s Canadian Arctic. But eventually, Connie finds a beauty that is ... something else.
