What if running from the storm isn't keeping you safe...it's destroying you?
When a mysterious Storm takes his wife, Flint the raccoon does what any father would do-he runs. He takes his three young daughters and flees across Silva Island, desperate to keep them safe. But the Storm follows them. Through mountain passes and frozen tundra, into the darkest hollows of the island-it never stops coming.
And with each narrow escape, Flint's fear grows stronger. Until fear becomes something far more dangerous than the Storm itself.
