      De huwelijksreis van Joe en Nell Stevens loopt uit op een ware nachtmerrie als Nell tijdens een kajaktocht in de problemen komt. Ze raakt verstrikt in de takken van een boom, eindigt onder water en verdrinkt bijna. Wanneer ze bijkomt, ligt ze veilig op de oever van de rivier. Daar vindt ze een briefje van Joe. Hij is hulp halen, schrijft hij. Joe komt nooit meer terug, en de zoektocht die volgt, levert meer vragen op dan antwoorden. Zo blijkt hij familie te hebben over wie ze niets wist - een rijke familie. En al snel wordt er gefluisterd dat zij verantwoordelijk is voor zijn verdwijning, dat ze achter het familiefortuin aan zat. Nell pakt de draad van haar leven zo goed en zo kwaad als het gaat weer op. Toch blijft ze altijd hopen dat ze erachter zal komen wat er met Joe gebeurd is. Als zijn verdwijning opnieuw wordt onderzocht, is ze dan ook meer dan bereid om mee te helpen. De jaloezie en het verraad die ze vervolgens tegenkomt vormen echter een grotere bedreiging dan de wildste rivier...
