They plan on meeting their good friends Jasmine and Michael Stevens at a high mountain lake on their second day in. To their surprise, their friends’ camp is deserted when they arrive.
Someone is Watching…
Jacob Mason has other plans for the backpackers. His ancestors once owned the land now scattered with trails that anyone can walk on. His heritage was stolen. It was wrongfully taken away, and Jacob vows to send a message to all trespassers who step foot on his land. When people enter his wilderness, they may never leave.
The Search…
Troy and Eva find themselves entangled in the mystery of their friends’ disappearance and won’t stop until they’re found. Along the way, they meet up with others who are looking for them, too, others who are also in danger of incurring Jacob Mason’s wrath.
