"In the lexicon of the fly-fishermen, the words rise and hooked connotate the successful and desirable climax; landing a fish is purely anticlimax."
~ Vincent C. Marinaro

Annika and David have been in love for 12 years. The problem is, he's her sister's husband. Before they can act on their love, David is killed in a helicopter crash while on a fly-fishing trip.

In her private grief, Annika turns to his charismatic younger brother, Daniel. Based in the USA, he's a talented musician, writer, actor and director, and his wife also happened to serve him with divorce papers on the same day he flew home for the funeral.

As they embark on a brief and sensual fling, pragmatic and independent (almost reclusive) Annika doesn't think their connection is anything more than a way to process their shared heartache. But when Daniel confesses his feelings for her, she contemplates whether she should set the hook or let him go.
