Gwen lives for dancing. When she has the chance to take an intensive -
and expensive - course far from home, she knows her parents will object.
She also knows that she can usually convince her father to support her.
She raises the subject when they're together skiing, but the discussion
turns into an angry confrontation that is cut short by a sudden dreadful
avalanche that almost kills her dad.
The avalanche leaves terrible damage in its wake. Gwen is left wracked
with guilt and injuries that may end her career as a dancer. Her life is
complicated by her best friend, Molly. Molly has her own demons, and may
either be a danger to Gwen or part of her salvation. Gwen must find a
way to make peace with Molly, with her family, and with her own
conscience if she is ever again going to experience the freedom that
dancing brought her.
