A magnificent gyrfalcon, soaring over the rocky cliffs of the Pacific Northwest, is winged by a hunter and falls to earth. Rescued and taken to a nearby farmhouse, the bird will irrevocably change the lives of her savior, Michael Somers, and the woman and child Michael comes to love.After many years, Michael has returned to his hometown of Little River Bend to unlock secrets from his own past that almost drove him to destroy his family in one night of irrational violence. Released from treatment but shunned by his neighbors, he is determined to heal the bird and release her to freedom. Watching from afar as Michael coaxes the falcon to fly is a deeply troubled little boy, Jamie Baker, who lost the power of speech after witnessing his father's death in a hunting accident.Through caring for the falcon, a tender emotional bond forms between the child, his mother -- who yearns to free her child from his self-made prison -- and the strange man who seems able to heal.
