The world changes for sisters Millie and Maura the day three visitors come to their Alaskan village. The girls are amazed to see that two of the men have light-colored skin and blue eyes. The third visitor, from a neighboring village, has red spots covering his body. He tells of a great death among his people. Shortly after this visit, the plague hits Millie and Maura's village, leaving no one alive but the two sisters. As winter sets in, the girls must undertake a dangerous wilderness trek downriver in search of a new village and a new home.
