Pop Singer Keely Williams's trip to Alaska to search for her biological mother has been painfully unsuccessful. Now she just wants to escape this wild Alaskan frontier and never look back. But when her plane is hijacked, she's suddenly plunged into a race for survival against not only an Alaska blizzard but a killer on her tail.

After a career-ending injury, it seems ex-cop Dawson Mulligan's only friend is Caspian, the stray dog he's adopted. He just wants to figure out how to get his life on track. During a flight home to Copper Mountain, he spots a downed plane and stops to help. Except his not-a-rescue dog Caspian runs off into the woods only to discover the track of a missing survivor. Sure, the former cop will rescue her . . .

But Dawson has no idea he's being pulled into a race for his life, or that his dog is more than he seems. There might be redemption and second chances waiting for both of them if they have the courage to face their wounded pasts and fight for their future.
