Coldwater is the kind of mountain town where nothing stays secret and everyone knows who will be sitting at the diner before they walk through the door. Then something falls from the sky. When a mysterious capsule crashes deep in the mountains, Deputy Lena Navarro joins a small group of locals searching for answers. What they find is wounded, intelligent and desperate to survive. With the roads buried, communications failing and a brutal winter night closing around them, Coldwater becomes a hunting ground. Every attempt to fight back only makes the creature stronger. Every place of safety becomes another trap. And somewhere beneath the violence, an impossible signal is counting down toward something far worse. For Lena, her sheriff father, the mountain rescue captain she once planned to marry, a determined local doctor, a sharp tongued diner owner and two teenage best friends carrying years of unspoken feelings, surviving until morning will demand more than courage. Because in Coldwater, dawn is not a promise. It is a deadline.
