Eastern Montana. A travel writer rents a cabin at Fairhill Ranch and is drawn to the bare house on the northern ridge - Windrow, a home with no photographs on its walls. One September night he hears a hand at the window and a voice: 'Let me in. I've been out here twenty years.' From the housekeeper Pearl he hears the whole story: a starved foundling, Dane Corso, raised beside the rancher's wild daughter Cass; the choice that married her to gentle Alden Frost and drove Dane away; his return, rich and patient, to ruin both families; and young Wren, caged by a forced marriage, finding an ally in the silent ranch hand Colt.

A retelling of Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights, presented by TalesReborn.
