The Nameless Detective faces his worst nightmare when a vengeful ex-convict takes him prisoner. The criminal drags him to an isolated mountain cabin and chains him to the wall, planning to leave him there to die slowly. No one knows where he is. No rescue is coming. The detective has only his wits and willpower to keep him alive in this deadly trap. With each passing hour, his situation grows more desperate. The chains hold firm, the cabin sits miles from civilization, and his captor has vanished. The detective must find a way to break free before dehydration and exposure claim his life. This becomes a brutal test of survival, pitting his determination against the methodical cruelty of his enemy's revenge.
