In Alaska, Susannah Stanton and Jesse Stanton divorced two years ago. They have two daughters, the teenage Bridget and the young Hannah, and a young son, Sam, and are good friends. Jesse lives on an isolated ranch, where he hosts fishing and tracking guests, and relies on his plane to get to the city of Anchorage, where Susannah runs a restaurant. They broke up because Susannah felt bored and lonely at the ranch. Susannah is dating a lawyer, and her sons decide to find a woman for Jesse by sending a letter to a popular magazine called Alaskan Love. He gets a lot of responses and the kids later feel that Susannah is probably their perfect match, and they try to come up with a plan to get them together.
