"Life happens when you least expect it."
Taciturn Englishman Alex Hughes (Alan Rickman) has travelled to Canadian to meet the mother of his deceased son. Driving through the winter landscape, he picks up a young hitchhiker, Vivienne, who is en route to her home town of Wawa. But when a freak road accident leaves Vivienne dead, Alex finds himself again grieving the death of someone he didn't really know. Still in a state of shock , Alex seeks out Vivienne's mother, Linda (Sigourney Weaver), who suffers from autism and is unable to show any emotion towards her daughter's fate. Staying with Linda until the funeral, Alex tries, as best he can, to take part in her life. He soon meets Linda's saucy neighbour, Maggie (Carrie-Anne Moss), and is immediately drawn to her. Together, Maggie's capacity to understand and Linda's unique approach to the world finally help Alex face a dark secret from his past.
