Jace Wilson sees a brutal killing. The thirteen-year-old boy becomes a target. Police give him a new identity and send him to a wilderness survival program for troubled teens in remote Montana mountains. The plan seems simple: keep Jace hidden while authorities hunt the murderers. The Blackwell Brothers have other ideas. These killers eliminate anyone standing between them and the boy. They move methodically toward their target. Ethan and Allison Serbin run the survival program. Hannah Faber works alone in a fire lookout tower. These three adults are all that protect Jace from professional assassins. The Montana wilderness stretches endlessly around them. Wildfires burn across the mountains. Time runs out as the Blackwell Brothers close in on their prey.
