After her mother’s death, Jess Cooper goes to live with her father, whom she hardly knows. He lives reclusive in the middle of a forest somewhere in Canada. Within a week he sets out to teach Jess how to survive in the wild. Time is short, because the man, hunted by killers, knows his days are numbered… Soon three heavily armed men arrive and murder him. With no family, no shelter, no food, Jess has no choice: she must hold on at all costs and learn to defend herself. For the girl knows: the men will return. She must then be ready to face them. And to avenge her father.
