Kate miró el destartalado puente de madera. Había tablones sueltos en su estrecha pasarela. No había ninguna barandilla para sostener. Tenía miedo de cruzar este puente incluso a la luz del día. Pero ella tenía que cruzarlo ahora. Tenía que llegar a la estación de tren a tiempo para detener el expreso de medianoche. Cuando una fuerte tormenta destruyó el puente sobre Honey Creek, cerca de la casa de Kate Shelley en Moingona, Iowa, Kate, de quince años, se lanzó a la tormenta, salvando la vida de dos hombres e impidiendo que se perdieran cientos de vidas más.
