A blizzard hits Sloan's remote Alaskan community. One resident is injured, necessitating medical attention, so six people, including Sloan, set out for help. But a wolf pack is tracking them... The characters and their relationships are complicated by interwoven histories. A tense survival plot, vivid setting, and the realities of wilderness ecology make this a harrowing and emotionally resonant story.
