Lauren (Cindy Busby) is an assistant curator at the Denver Museum of Natural History who received a donation of vases to the museum’s Native American collection. But not everyone is as excited about the Anasazi wedding vases as Lauren. The benefactor’s grandnephew, Grady Hollingston (Bourke Floyd, “The Locksmith”) is contesting the donation, claiming his great aunt had no right to give away such valuable family heirlooms. Based on the design, Lauren believes there’s a fourth vase missing. If she can find it in Zion National Park, she can return the vases to the Pueblo Nation.

When Lauren arrives at the park, she meets Puebloan ranger Adam Proudstar (David Gridley). He’s skeptical at first, but reluctantly agrees to accompany her search for the missing vase. After getting to their destination, they discover Hollingston has started a search of his own. Lauren and Adam are disappointed because they feel like they’ve failed and run out of time. Despite their growing feelings for each other, they get ready to go their separate ways. But perhaps not all is lost when a family secret is revealed.
