Sinopsis
Bailey Lockhart has fled from her horrific past and is surviving alone in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. Her nearest human contact is 80 miles downriver, a Native American Indian settlement with whom she occasionally trades. The Native population is deeply resentful of white settlers and, although she maintains a guarded peace with them, there is much tension under the surface. When a young couple from back east arrives, on the pretence of a fishing trip, her world radically changes and the tensions soon explode. The harsh demands of survival in a land that allows no margin for error put Bailey on an inexorable course to a dead reckoning with her past, with the Native Americans, with the young couple who have put everything in jeopardy and with the wilderness itself.

Her nearest human contact is 80 miles downriver a Native American Indian settlement with whom she occasionally trades. The Native population is deeply resentful of white settlers and, although she maintains a guarded peace with them, there is much tension under the surface.
