The surgeon Dafydd Wooddruff receives a letter dated in Moose Creek (Canada) written by a little girl of thirteen that claims to be his daughter. For Dafydd this is really impossible as he never slept with her mother, Sheila Hailey, a beautiful nurse with a horrible temper and who Dafodd would have sworn he had never had an adventure with.

But the DNA test don´t seem to say the same. In crisis with his current partner and his career threatened for an accident for drink driving, Dafydd decides to go back to the Canadian Artic Circle to figurate out the mystery and confront the demons he neglected 15 years back.
