In the quiet town of Blackhollow, a young man is found wandering a remote road, barefoot and about to freeze to death. He hasn't spoken a single word since he was brought to the clinic. No name, no explanation-just silence.
Dr. Samuel Fischer has seen trauma before, but there's something different about this one. The patient-eventually identified as Kendrick Carter-has secrets buried deep within his fractured mind. As Fischer carefully unravels the mystery, he begins to realize that Kendrick's abduction was no random act of violence. Someone had a plan for him. Someone still does.
But the closer Fischer gets to the truth, the more the lines between reality and paranoia begin to blur. Is Kendrick truly safe now, or is the real nightmare only beginning?

Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina. By the time her husband Jeff, miffed over a recent argument, reports her missing, the trail has grown cold. Literally. Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search for her.

She's determined to escape him, and willing to take any risks necessary to survive. Unexpectedly, however, the two have a dangerous encounter with people who adhere to a code of justice all their own. At the center of the dispute is a desperate young woman whom Emory can't turn her back on, even if it means breaking the law.
