Two missing girls. One powerful family. A killer watching them all.

When fifteen-year-old Brynn Hagen and her five-year-old sister Eveleigh vanish from their uncle’s home in the Montana mountains, the search for them becomes a race against time.

Because the girls weren’t reported missing for three days.

Detective Alyssa Wyatt of the Albuquerque PD and her partner, Cord Roberts, travel to Montana to assist the Bozeman PD, joining forces with FBI Special Agent Ryker Newlin.

But the deeper Alyssa digs, the more she realizes the Hagen family is hiding something. And their senator father seems more interested in protecting his reputation than finding his daughters.

As the team uncover decades of lies and secrets, it becomes clear someone is willing to kill to keep the past hidden.

Meanwhile, stranded in the unforgiving wilderness, Brynn is fighting to keep herself and Eveleigh alive, while being stalked by a ruthless killer.

With every hour, the odds of finding them alive grow smaller. And if Alyssa doesn’t uncover the truth in time, Brynn and Eveleigh may not survive long enough to be found.
