When the world is brought to a standstill in the early days of a global pandemic, Etta Wilmont finds herself stranded in Kansas City. Desperate to secure a roof over her head, Etta crosses paths with Henry Logan, a lonely older man in need of a caretaker. As Etta and Henry settle into a companionable living arrangement, Etta indulges in Henrys library. The historical accounts of life in the Midwest soon inspire vivid dreams of Kansas City in the 1870s, dreams in which shes married to a rancher named Maxwell Lawton. More than anything, Etta wonders if the man shes falling for while she sleeps might be real, might be out there - true love waiting to be found.
