Abigail (Maggie Alexander) is a small-town police officer who feels trapped in a routine, unfulfilling marriage with her husband. Her life takes a sharp turn when she begins an intense, purely physical extramarital affair with Gideon (Christopher Torrevillas), a widow and solitary bird carver living on the margins of town. Driven by a mutual, desperate need for connection and passion, their secret meetings escalate from casual encounters into a deeply personal and volatile romance that threatens to disrupt their lives and expose them to the close-knit local community.
