Seattle, 1933. Vera Ray kisses her three-year-old son, Daniel, good
night and reluctantly leaves for work. She hates the night shift, but
it's the only way she can earn enough to keep destitution at bay. In the
morning -- even though it's the second of May -- a heavy snow is
falling. Vera rushes to wake Daniel, but his bed is empty. His teddy
bear lies outside in the snow. Seattle, present day. On the second of
May, Seattle Herald reporter Claire Aldridge awakens to another
late-season snowstorm. Assigned to cover this "blackberry winter" and
its predecessor decades earlier, Claire learns of Daniel's unsolved
abduction and vows to unearth the truth -- only to discover that she and
Vera are linked in unexpected ways.
