Some perished in an instant, some survived, and some were buried alive. Salt of My Tears is a tale of two young strangers who become trapped in the tragic rock slide that buried the town of Frank in the early morning hours of April 29, 1903. During their six day entrapment, both begin to leave their pasts behind, and learn to love again. When their miraculous rescue occurs the past catches up to them, threatening to destroy them both.
