The man reveals a surprising truth: he has a letter from a recently deceased prisoner claiming the young woman is his daughter, born to him and Estelle, who was forced to give her up for adoption. This revelation sets the young woman on a journey to find her real mother, a Blackfoot woman living in the desolate "Hi-Line" region of Montana.
