An estranged daughter-in-law, a bitter father, and his suffering best friend are reunited for the sake of a child in this powerful tale of love, loss, and homecoming.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, and Jennifer Lopez. Directed by Lasse Hällstrom.

Ten years after Griffin Gilkyson dies in a car accident, his widow Jean returns to their small hometown in Wyoming to rescue their child and herself from the latest in a string of abusive boyfriends. Refuge, however, comes at a cost: facing the wrath of a father-in-law who blames Jean for the death of his beloved son. Einar Gilkyson had resigned himself to living out his days in the company of Mitch Bradley, his best friend since the Korean War, now housebound and in constant suffering after a horrific grizzly mauling. The sudden appearance of jean—and the granddaughter he has never known—forces Einar to come face-to-face with his own paralyzing pain.
