There is nothing more suspenseful to me than a story featuring man against the elements. The setting is a harsh Canadian winter set in the 19th century frontier. In a small settlement of European immigrants, a lone trapper is brutally murdered, discovered by a neighbor, whose seventeen-year-old son disappeared the same day.

A search team, including his mother, sets off to find the young man, now the prime suspect, who may have a valuable artifact belonging to the victim. The inhabited areas are far between, and tracks lead them into a forest filled with deadly animals, fugitives and characters motivated by complex human desires.
