Cody Hoyt, while a brilliant cop, is an alcoholic struggling
with two months of sobriety when his mentor and AA sponsor
Hank Winters is found burned to death in a remote mountain
cabin. At first it looks like the suicide of a man who’s
fallen off the wagon, but Cody knows Hank better than that.
Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won
sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing
to talk Cody off a ledge. When Cody takes a closer look at
the scene of his friend’s death, it becomes apparent that
foul play is at hand. After years of bad behavior with his
department, he’s in no position to be investigating a
homicide, but this man was a friend and Cody’s determined to
find his killer.
When clues found at the scene link the murderer to an
outfitter leading tourists on a multi-day wilderness
horseback trip into the remote corners of Yellowstone
National Park—a pack trip that includes his son Justin—Cody
is desperate to get on their trail and stop the killer
before the group heads into the wild. Among the tourists is
fourteen-year-old Gracie Sullivan, an awkward but
intelligent loner who begins to suspect that someone in
their party is dangerous.
In a fatal cat and mouse game, where it becomes apparent the
murderer is somehow aware of Cody’s every move, Cody treks
into the wilderness to stop a killer hell bent on ruining
the only thing in his life he cares about.
