In a cave in the Shenandoah National Recreation area, two bodies are discovered, wrapped in the tattered continues to be of the lover’s knot quilt. In Washington, DC, Isaac Taylor inherits a almost similar quilt from a grandmother whose name he never even knew.

After narrowly escaping death, newspaper journalist Kendra Taylor retreats to a cabin nestled in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to heal and straighten out her feelings about her troubled marriage. As she is welcomed in to the rural community of Toms Brook, Kendra turns into curious about an heirloom lover’s knot quilt, which is another little bit of Isaac’s unexplored past. The unusual quilt clearly includes a tale to tell, and Kendra can be convinced that assisting her husband connect with his roots will help him reconnect with her, as well.
