Somewhere in the darkness, a stranger has her daughter . . .
Mackenzie Morgan thinks she's doing the right thing by taking her teenage daughter, Bella, into the Appalachians on a photography shoot. Fleeing a crumbling marriage, Mackenzie needs some time to bond with her daughter and escape the betrayal that still leaves her numb.
But then a drifter abducts Bella, carrying her on horseback deep into the woods, and Mackenzie must draw on her deepest reserves to fight for her daughter's safe return.
Her soon-to-be-ex-husband appears on the scene and, when old wounds flare, Mackenzie turns to Caleb Howell, a local ranger, to help keep her focused on the most important task: finding Bella. Then astonishing evidence comes to light that reveals the abduction was not as random as they first believed . . .
But as hours turn into days, Mackenzie must struggle to keep her hope - and her terrified daughter - alive.
