Alice intends to end her life in the Badlands of South Dakota, alone, in nature, only she keeps being saved by a Cowboy, out on a silent retreat. It could be an American romance story, but Alice didn't ask to be saved. She doesn't want saving by the Cowboy, and she certainly doesn't want it from the Man who has driven across country, and who has walked miles and miles to come and take her back home. Men are the cause and reason for her despair, and yet these two men, determined to be heroes, won't let her have her pain, as her own. Until it's too late.
