Upon arrival at their final destination, Theo offers Tess a ride and the pair end up snowed in at Theo's parents' house. When Theo's parents would rather focus on his new 'girlfriend' rather than the loss he has suffered, Tess plays along until she realizes who Theo has been mourning.Both have unfinished business but little do they know that it's the same.
