En besettende historie om tap og kjærlighet. Colorado, 1940-tallet. Victoria Nash er bare en tenåring, men har likevel ansvaret for husholdningen på familiegården, der de i generasjoner har dyrket fersken. Den unge dagdriveren Wilson Moon har en mystisk fortid og er blitt fortrengt fra stammeområdet sitt. Han er uønsket av lokalbefolkningen i den lille byen. Da Victoria treffer Wilson, tennes en gnist av lidenskap, men også av fare. De innleder et forhold som for enhver pris må holdes hemmelig. Da Victoria blir gravid, flykter hun alene opp i fjellene. Hun bosetter seg i en liten hytte mens hun kjemper for å overleve i villmarken. Samtidig stiger vannet i elva i dalen og truer med å utslette gården og alt hun kjenner til. Dit elven fører deg er en historie om kjærlighet og tap, men også om å finne et hjem, en familie, å få kraft og mot til å kjempe - og om å finne trøst der man minst venter det.
