Call Hawkins retreats to Dead Horse Creek in the Yukon wilderness, determined to escape his past and live in complete solitude. The remote location offers him the isolation he craves, far from anything that might trigger painful memories. His carefully constructed peace shatters when Charity Sinclair appears, a beautiful and headstrong woman who has traveled from New York City with dreams of wilderness life. She knows nothing about surviving in the untamed north, and Call realizes she will die without his help. Reluctantly, he begins teaching her the skills she needs to stay alive. But Charity's arrival has awakened something dangerous in the endless daylight of the Yukon summer. A killer stalks the wilderness, driven by a need for revenge that threatens to destroy them both. As the menace closes in, Call must choose between the safety of his isolation and protecting the woman who has disrupted his world.
