After years of living in Sydney, Australia, Emma Stevens returns to New Zealand, ready to live the simple life, teaching in a small rural town with her Tenterfield terrier as companion. However, when she is convinced by a friend to try on-line dating, Emma is surprised to find herself corresponding with the principal of a high school in the Arctic Circle in Alaska who at first, she knows only as ‘Kotzman’.

The pair are literally worlds apart . While Emma is picking spring flowers, Kotzman is ice fishing. When Emma is wrapping up against the chill winds of an Otago winter, while Kotzman enjoys summer caribou camp.
As the months pass, Kotzman becomes Gary, the relationship deepens, Emma and Kotzman discover that they have much in common. When at the new millennium, Gary joins Emma on a beach in New Zealand to watch the new century dawn romance blossoms.
