Rob's character, Doug Craig, is a successful, respected lawyer in the small Wyoming town where Jane Seymour's character -- columnist and t.v. celebrity PRUDENCE MCCCOY, has been sent for a much-needed vacation by the media mogul who produces her column and t.v. show.
The first day Prudence arrives in Wyoming, she's introduced to Doug Craig, a friend of the woman -- RUTH VIGIL -- who manages the lodge where Pru is staying. There's an instant connection and Prudence joins Doug for drinks that same night.
By then, Prudence has become concerned about the disappearance of Ruth's son, J.R., and she consults with Doug about the boy. To her alarm, he tells her that J.R. has had a checkered past and Doug has had to bail the young man out of hot water on more than one occasion.
Prudence continues to explore the circumstances of J.R.'s disappearance, becoming convinced he was actually murdered. Doug Craig, supportive and concerned, offers to help Prudence track down any clues and evidence she turns up.
