Synopsis:
Rebecca has fallen in love with a Winnipegger, and moved to Canada from New York to be with him. When she asks her father to send her the diamond ring she inherited from her late mother, Harry decides instead to drive to Winnipeg with the valuable family heirloom. As he suspects, Rebecca wants to sell the ring to put a down payment on a house, while Harry believes there are some things you keep. They realize that their relationship revolved around the woman who is no longer there, and that they have to find new common ground or risk losing each other altogether.
