New York photographer Jordan Donovan (Teri Polo) uses her work as a shield against facing life's problems, while her friend Laurie (Patricia Kalember) searches for a mate for Jordan. Laurie even places a personal ad in a national publication. Meanwhile, Wyoming rancher Tyler Ross (Andrew McCarthy) has difficulty getting over his wife's death. His sister talks him into answering Jordan's ad, and the two meet at his ranch. Though not crazy about each other at first, one can guess that things will turn out fine in this made-for-TV film.
