How far could you run in forty minutes?
When Melody wakes up in absolute pitch blackness, she has no idea where she is, how she got there, or who dragged her into this dark, freezing cell. But she remembers the terrifying stories dominating the nightly news. She knows about the missing women found murdered.
And she fears she might be next.
When her captor finally drags her out, he throws her into a game with a single, brutal rule, she has a forty-minute head start to reach civilization before the hunt begins.
But as Melody rips off her blindfold, her blood runs cold. The previous victims were all hunted under the cover of night. Instead, she stands exposed in the blinding glare of mid-winter daylight. She is trapped in the middle of a vast, unforgiving forest, stripped down to nothing but a shirt, her underwear, and the watch he had locked around her wrist.
He thinks the sub-zero temperatures and her bare skin will make her an easy, fragile target. He thinks the game is already won.
He is wrong.
Melody doesn't know these woods, but she knows how to fight.
In a deadly game of cat and mouse through the frozen wilderness, Melody must outrun, outsmart, and outlast a killer who knows every inch of the woods. The clock is ticking, and the hunt has just begun.
