Storyline

Experience a slice of off-grid life, and the bittersweet taste of love... You live in the mountains, spending your days tending a vegetable garden, looking after chickens, and working remotely as a computer programmer. You don't participate in society - or whatever's left of it. You're fine with being alone. But when a young woman appears on your secluded property, injured and lost on a stormy night, you're understandably torn. Are you obligated to help her? Is it even safe to help her? You have no idea what to do. Your brain is mush. And the fact that she's so pretty doesn't help...
