When Sharon McCone receives the distressing news of her father's death, she immediately goes to San Diego to help her brother scatter their father's ashes and settle his affairs. But while going through his legal papers, Sharon uncovers a 1959 petition for the adoption of a Baby Girl Smith -- an infant who, from the day of adoption, has been known as Sharon Elizabeth McCone. Now, determined to find her biological parents, Sharon finds herself deep in Idaho's Flathead Reservation. Met with resentment, she discovers a few locals who will stop at nothing to make sure certain secrets are kept hidden.
