description: An immigrant single mom from Brazil, Sonia, suspects foul play in the 2002 plane crash that killed the progressive U. S. Senator Paul Wellstone. Spurned by the police, she seeks help from Jake, a reserved businessman who shares none of her beliefs about Wellstone but who falls for her Latin charms. Soon the two of them are fleeing for their lives across the frosty landscape of Minnesota, and Sonia needs all the guidance her patron saint can give.
