Amy and Max, young New York yuppies, are taking a few vacation days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a summer destination resort for rich tourists. Amy gets ready to enjoy a romantic escape with her fiancé, but Max can´t disconnect from his work and leaves her to wander alone in the city. Amy befriends Loren, a local outdoor activities guide. Lonely and a bit lost in their own lives, Amy and Loren easily establish a connection. When Max has to unexpectedly leave for his job, Amy and Loren spend a weekend together exploring the Teton mountains, and the bond they create threatens to transform itself into something more than friendship. A sensitive romantic comedy, with believable characters, who face choices everyone is familiar with, but which are not always easy.
