Witnessing the attack, Kevin comes to her rescue and is instantly attracted, and oddly compelled to provide protection - even after she refuses help and disappears. He enlists aid from his friends in the James Gang to use their particular set of skills to help find River, and then to investigate why she has become a target. Knowing their lives are on different tracks, River and Kevin must decide if their feelings are just a quick sprint of lust due to intense circumstances, or a long marathon leading to everlasting love.
