Baltimore cop Nate Burke, haunted by the death of his partner, accepts a job as police chief in the tiny town of Lunacy, Alaska. His first weeks on the job are relatively quiet, but he questions whether the move was the right thing to do. An unexpected kiss on New Year's Eve lifts his spirit--and convinces him to stay just a little longer. Meg Galloway, born and raised here, is used to being alone. She was still a young girl when her father disappeared, and she's learned to be independent, flying her small plane living on the outskirts with just her huskies for company. But after her New Year's kiss with the chief of police, she allows herself to give in to passion. Then, when Nate looks into a long-unsolved crime, his investigation brings out threatening secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the town's placid surface.
