Astronomer Madeline Baggett (Sara Canning) searches for life beyond Earth, and when she believes she has found it, she convinces her boss to allow her to travel to a small hamlet in upstate New York where she hopes to capture a once-in-a-lifetime event. With refractors and telescopes in tow, Madeline arrives in Summit Ridge where she meets widowed national park ranger Ryan Sparks (Daniel Lissing) and his young daughter, Celeste.
