When a seventeen-year-old girl goes missing in the mountains of North Carolina, former Army Ranger and private investigator Dolan believes the police—who claim she ran away with her boyfriend—are hiding the truth. As he continues his search, he discovers that a powerful figure with connections to law enforcement wants her to remain missing. Isolated and faced with hostile locals, Dolan races against time to uncover what really happened before both he and the girl are lost forever.
