When his wife, Rachel who is a doctor, fails to come home Will calls the police. Her car is discovered on a desert highway, a broken window and no Rachel. He cannot join the search because their nine year old daughter has a fibrosis and cannot be left alone. The police suspect Will. Terrified of what could happen to Devlin the two relocate. Years later an FBI agent finds him, stating she believes he is not responsible for his wife's disappearance.

The story is about human trafficing focusing on disappearing women. The three follow a trail across the U.S., Canada and into Alaska searching for Rachel and the agent's sister who likewise disappeared. They take an exciting trek through lonely ioslated forest in wintery cold winter to a hidden lodge. What they find is not just those they search for but trained wolves who protect the property and wealthy men who have paid to do what they wish with women locked in rooms until their favors are required. The climax is exciting when the two groups meet.
