Flight Nurse Liz Elliot quits her Arizona job after a medical helicopter piloted by her lover crashes in the desert killing him and two close friends. Vowing to never fly in helicopters again, she flees to Alaska to escape her grief and recover in a safe location far from the desert turmoil. When she interviews for an ER nursing job in Anchorage, a male nurse bursts in and quits his flight job, abandoning the flying village doctor Paul Lasher, leaving him without a nurse. Dr. Lasher needs immediate help for an emergency flight to a remote location for a woman in preterm labor. Liz accepts the sudden challenge of flying in a small plane to the wilderness emergency with the attractive stranger. High over rugged terrain, she wonders if she's lost her mind. Instead, she is about to lose her heart and possibly her life.
