Description
On New Year’s Eve, Dixie and her husband Grady set off on a car trip. They plan to visit Grady’s family, five hours away. But soon they’re caught in a blizzard. They turn off the highway and go to their friend Ron’s house.Both Grady and Ron are RCMP officers. When Ron must go out on duty, Grady goes with him.
Dixie spends the evening sharing secrets with a couple of other RCMP wives. By midnight, Dixie has learned a thing or two about marriage, and about love.
New Year’s Eve leads to a turning point for Dixie and Grady. And a new road for them both.
