A headhunter for a Chicago-based retail chain arrives in a small Montana town and contacts a young woman with an offer to interview her for a job. She is still living with what she believes to be her parents. In reality, the headhunter has been sent by a friend, the woman's real father, who is serving a sentence in Joliet Prison. Her father, who wants her to know who her real parents are, is about to die while in prison. Her real mother lives outside of a different Montana town. When her parents split apart, they put the newborn girl up for adoption. She was never told she was adopted, and when she learns the news, she travels to confront her real mother out of anger. The headhunter goes with her, and the two develop a romantic relationship on the way.
