Annie frantically flees Montreal for the US with her young son, Felix and teenage daughter, Sarah, fearing the repercussions after Sarah severely injures her school bully. When their car breaks down just outside a small town in the Adirondacks, the family is stranded. Paul, a single father and the town's lone mechanic, isn't able to fix the car until he gets the part that's needed. Annie's stubborn insistence to leave town at all costs comes head-to-head with Paul's unwillingness to give in.
