Rosannah Deluce has been driving for days. Her car dies in a snowbound corner of Alaska. In distress, she seeks shelter in the only nearby structure, an old barn that is the home of Henry Harry, a man she does not know. She is attired in a wedding gown. She is a runaway bride.
Henry Harry is an oil rig worker who lives a hermit's existence during the periods he is not working. His solitude is a refuge from the pain and trauma of events past. The last thing he wants is company, but a beautiful woman has landed literally at his doorstep.
Both have run away from circumstances too difficult to endure. Over the next few days, alternately repulsed by and attracted to each other, they might discover that they are kindred spirits.

The title of the play, Brilliant Traces, has its origin in a line in a poem by Avah Pevlor Johnson, the playwright's mother and a published poet : 'Let my scars leave brilliant traces /For my highborn soul seeks its hell---in high places.'
Cindy Lou Johnson says, ' What this play is about is that we have to connect with other people. We're here. We're not isolated. Through loving, we can grow and heal and change. And as strong as our urge might be to fight it because of the pain it might cause, it's absolutely imperative that we connect.'
